Piers Morgan retorts to Prince Harry’s criticism in High Court testimony against Mirror News Group

Prince Harry made his first appearance in London’s High Court on Tuesday and as he sat in the witness stand for around five hours, he made his point crystal clear that he is ‘determined’ to hold Piers Morgan and the Mirror News Group to account.

Although Prince Harry’s relationship with the former Good Morning Britain presenter has not been on the best of terms in recent years accounting for Piers’ public comments about the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle, Harry incited that Piers had ‘[made him] feel physically sick’ for nearly three decades.

The 39-year-old mentioned Piers three times by name in his more than 50-page witness statement inciting that the journalist, who was editor of The Mirror from 1995 to 2004, ‘earwigged’ into his late mother Princess Diana’s ‘private and sensitive messages’ before suggesting that Meghan and himself were ‘subjected to a barrage of horrific personal attacks and intimidation from Morgan’.

While Prince Harry’s comments come after Piers publicly spoke about his dislike for the Duke of Sussex with Amol Rajan on the BBC, it seems that the journalist has now returned the shot in the game of ping-pong between the two men as he hit back at Harry’s latest criticism.

Piers told reporters that he had not seen the comments made in High Court but, “I wish him luck with his privacy campaign and look forward to reading about it in his next book."

Following Prince Harry’s release of his tell-all memoir Spare, which ironically sold more than Piers Morgan’s book Wake Up, the Uncensored host has lambasted the autobiography describing it as a ‘poisonous book’ before proceeding to throw it in a bin live on his TalkTV show.

In response to Piers’ retort to Prince Harry’s witness statement, the presenter will sadly have to wait quite a while if at all for a Spare sequel as Harry and Meghan revealed they will not be making any more documentaries or books.
