Piers Morgan calls for Harry and Meghan to lose titles after Trump comments

Piers Morgan has called for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to be stripped of their titles after she hit out at Trump.

The Duchess of Sussex was a surprise guest on Michelle Obama’s When All Women Vote online event on Thursday, saying “we all know what’s at stake” in the upcoming US election.

Many interpreted it as a breach in royal protocol that prohibts British royals from commenting on politics.

And the Good Morning Britain host urged the Queen to remove Harry and Meghan’s titles for the move.

“The Queen must strip the Sussexes of their titles,” Piers tweeted on Friday night.

“They can’t remain as royals & spout off about foreign elections in such a brazenly partisan way.”

He added: “Last time I checked she’s still calling herself the Duchess of Sussex.”

During her appearance on Thursday Meghan called on women to vote.

Megan and Harry stepped down as senior royals earlier this year.

While they still hold the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, they no longer carry out royal duties.

Speaking during the event yesterday, Meghan said: “As we look at things today, though it had taken decades longer for women of colour to get the right to vote, even today we are watching so many women in different communities, who are marginalised, still struggling to see that right come to fruition, and that is – it’s just simply not okay.

“And we look at the attempts of voter suppression and what that’s doing, all the more reason we need each of you to be out there supporting each other to understand that this fight is worth fighting and we all have to be out there mobilising to have our voices heard.

“I think we are obviously faced with a lot of problems in our world right now, both in the physical world and in the digital world, but we can and must do everything we can to ensure all women have their voices heard.
