In a recent interview with Variety, Piers delivered his signature straight-talking take, calling out Harry and Meghan for their endless attempts to stay relevant. He declared, “I’ve run out of interest in them, as most people have.”
Remember when Harry and Meghan first left the royal family? The headlines were constant, the promises of a fresh start unending. But look where we are now: a Netflix series no one talks about, a podcast that flopped, and endless PR stunts that seem more calculated than heartfelt.
Piers didn’t hold back when discussing their attempts to remain in the public eye, calling it “pathetic.” He compared it to a washed-up actor trying to convince everyone they’re still a star.
While Harry and Meghan are busy staging photo ops, real royals like Princess Catherine and Prince William are quietly working on impactful, long-term projects. Catherine is revolutionizing early childhood education, and William is tackling issues like homelessness. They don’t need constant media attention to validate their efforts—they simply focus on making a difference.
Meanwhile, King Charles carries on with grace, despite the heartbreak of his son selling out the family for book deals and streaming contracts. And Queen Camilla? She’s proven all the critics wrong, becoming a steady and dignified force for the monarchy.
Harry and Meghan’s humanitarian efforts. When was the last time they truly committed to a cause, saw it through, and made a tangible difference? Their work often feels like a performance, complete with cameras in tow.
Compare that to Princess Anne, who carries out hundreds of engagements each year with little fanfare. That’s what real service looks like.
As Piers pointed out, Harry and Meghan’s pursuit of “privacy” is laughable. They left the UK for a quieter life, yet here we are, inundated with paparazzi photos, interviews, and documentaries. It’s clear they crave the spotlight as much as they claim to despise it.
It’s heartbreaking to see Harry’s transformation. Once the cheeky, beloved prince who created the Invictus Games, he’s now a shadow of his former self—a puppet dancing to Meghan’s tune. As for Meghan, her entry into royal life seemed less about service and more about celebrity. She wanted the perks of royalty without the responsibility.
Piers hit the nail on the head: people are tired of Harry and Meghan’s victimhood narrative. They’ve built their brand on complaints and controversy, but that well has run dry. Their stories have been told, their grievances aired, and now there’s nothing left but increasingly desperate attempts to stay relevant.
Real influence doesn’t come from magazine covers or Instagram posts. It comes from genuine action—like Catherine visiting children’s hospices, William supporting homelessness initiatives, or Queen Camilla promoting literacy. These are efforts that leave a lasting impact.
Harry and Meghan, on the other hand, have turned philanthropy into performance art. Every act of charity seems staged for maximum publicity. As Piers said, it’s transparent and distasteful.
If they truly want to regain public respect, they need to step back from the spotlight and focus on meaningful work—without the cameras. But let’s be honest: they won’t. They thrive on attention, and disappearing isn’t in their playbook.
Dignity, as Piers aptly noted, isn’t something you can fake. It’s earned through actions, humility, and resilience. If Harry and Meghan continue down their current path, they risk fading into irrelevance while the rest of the royal family carries on, earning admiration through quiet dedication.
