Renowned TV presenter Piers Morgan did not mince words, labeling the Duke of Sussex a 'spoiled twerp' for his recent remarks in the Netflix documentary "Heart of Invictus." In this documentary, Harry made statements implying that he lacked support after returning from his military service in Afghanistan. This was seen by some as a veiled jab at his royal family members and the British government.
Morgan expressed his frustration with Prince Harry, noting that he is tired of seeing the Duke play the victim card, especially when discussing his military service. In the documentary, Harry mentioned feeling unsupported upon his return from Afghanistan in 2008 and cited his war experiences as triggering unresolved trauma from the loss of his mother, Princess Diana, when he was just 12.
Piers Morgan reacted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to an article discussing Harry's claims. The article highlighted a seeming inconsistency in Harry's statements, as he had previously praised his elder brother, Prince William, and close friends in a 2017 interview for their support and encouragement to seek therapy.
Morgan commented, "Are recollections varying again? So sick of this spoiled twerp constantly playing the victim."
Prince Harry's new documentary follows a group of athletes worldwide as they prepare for the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style sporting competition he established in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel and veterans. In one of the five episodes, several former service members share their experiences with war-related mental health challenges.
However, royal commentator Angela Levin offered a different perspective on the documentary, suggesting that while many individuals have faced mental health issues, Prince Harry's continuous lamenting about his life might be perceived as excessive.
