Piers Morgan tears into Prince Harry’s book Spare
Outspoken broadcaster Piers Morgan has ripped into Prince Harry’s book Spare, saying the royal has “blown it” with his family.
Piers Morgan has furiously reacted to Prince Harry’s upcoming book Spare, saying the royal has “blown it” with his family.
In his bombshell autobiography, the Duke of Sussex takes aim at his brother, stepmother and a string of other royals in a stream of blistering takedowns.
During his show Piers Morgan Uncensored, available to stream on Flash, the Sky News Australia host weighed in on Harry’s memoir, slamming him for spilling secrets about his family.

“There is no doubt that this is highly entertaining in parts, it’s riveting, it’s incredibly intrusive. You can’t believe what you are reading,” the broadcaster said.
“This will be a number one best seller, good luck to him. He’ll make millions but at what cost?
“He’s blown it with his entire family. There’s no amount of money in the world that would make me do this to my family.”
Morgan then said there was “one thing” to do with Harry’s memoir.
“Rather than buy it and feather his greedy little nest, do what I’m going to do right now,” he said.
“Take Spare and chuck it where it belongs, in the bin.”
Morgan held up his copy of the book and threw it into the bin.
Earlier in the episode, the TV presenter called Harry a “village idiot” and lashed out at the royal after taking back the racism claims he made against his family.
During his interview with British broadcaster ITV on Monday, the Duke denied he accused his relatives of being racist after he and wife Meghan Markle alleged that an unnamed family member had concerns over their son Archie’s skin colour.
The former Suits actress even suggested their son may not be given the title of prince amid “conversations” about how dark he would be.
In a dramatic U-turn, Harry told journalist Tom Bradby they never made a racism accusation.
Bradby had asked the 38-year-old royal to elaborate on the comments he and wife made to Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
“You accused members of your family of racism,” Bradby asked to which Harry replied: “No I didn’t, the British press said that.”
Harry then asked Bradby: “Did Meghan ever mention that they’re racist?”
Bradby repeated Meghan’s claim that there were “troubling comments about Archie’s skin colour”.
Harry replied: “There was - there was concern about his skin colour.”
He was then asked: “Wouldn’t you describe that as essentially racist?”
Harry cryptically responded: “I wouldn’t, not having lived within that family.”
The Good Morning Britain presenter ripped into the Prince’s comments
“Let me get this straight on a serious point, the racist British press blamed for six hours straight of that Netflix bilge, for hounding Meghan out of our racist country,” he fumed.
“Driven, at the top by a racist Royal Family, apparently it is the press that is to blame for saying that Meghan Markle’s claims of racism were claims of racism.
“Now this had consequences, what they said to Oprah Winfrey, I was forced out of my last job presenting Good Morning Britain, a job I really enjoyed.
“Because I said I didn’t believe these claims without firm evidence, there wasn’t any, and now we get told it wasn’t racism, exactly what I suspected at the time.”
The broadcaster also asked if he and guest Sharon Osbourne could have their jobs back after they criticised the couple’s claims.
“Do I get an apology? Does Sharon Osbourne, one of my guests tonight, does she get restored to her job at the CBS show at all?,” Morgan questioned.
“Because she got fired for offering support on Twitter for my right to my opinion because apparently, I said racist things.
“It turns out those racist things were not believing Meghan Markle’s racism claims, now they say they didn’t mean racism, so does Sharon get her job back?
“Will they give back their award for their heroic battle against structural racism in the royal family? Now we know there was no racism.”
Morgan went on to say the Sussexes “sold their royal souls” for a life as “reality stars”.
“Harry and Meghan, let’s be clear, have sold their royal souls for a life as reality stars, trading every private cough and splutter for cash,” he said.
“Without the titles, Harry and Meghan, well, what are they?
“They’re just another version of the Kardashians.”
