Prince Harry went from the nation’s favorite prince to a punching bag for pundits on both sides of the Atlantic.

There was a time when Prince Harry could do no wrong in the eyes of the British public — the war veteran, the charity founder, the “spare” who somehow out-charmed half the family. That goodwill didn’t survive Megxit. Once he and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and then sat down with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, a growing chorus of broadcasters, authors and radio hosts decided they’d had enough of the Duke of Sussex.

• Piers Morgan walked off the set of Good Morning Britain in March 2021 after a heated on-air clash over Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview, calling Harry a “spoiled brat” and a “shameful disgrace” in the fallout.
• Royal biographer Lady Colin Campbell, columnist Katie Hopkins, Sharon Osbourne and the late Joan Rivers all took public shots at Harry, branding him everything from an “over-privileged brat” to a prince “milking his royal status.”
• American critics Howard Stern and Candace Owens piled on from across the Atlantic, mocking Harry’s complaints about family and money while he settled into a Montecito mansion reportedly worth over $14 million.

The Piers Morgan Fallout

No one has been louder than Piers Morgan. The former Good Morning Britain host spent years hammering Harry as a hypocrite — a man who demanded privacy while signing Netflix and Spotify deals built on his own royal grievances. That tension boiled over in March 2021, when Morgan stormed off set mid-broadcast after co-host Alex Beresford pushed back on his dismissal of Meghan’s comments to Oprah about her mental health. Morgan left ITV over the incident, but he didn’t soften his stance on Harry afterward, doubling down that the prince had turned family business into a “fake social justice” brand.

“A shameful disgrace” — Piers Morgan’s verdict on Prince Harry in the aftermath of the Oprah sit-down.

British Critics Pile On

Morgan wasn’t operating alone. Royal biographer Lady Colin Campbell used her books to dismiss Harry’s public complaints as self-serving, arguing he was doing lasting damage to the monarchy for personal gain. Katie Hopkins called him a “disgrace to the royal family” and a “homesick, moaning, over-privileged brat,” while accusing him and Meghan of “using their royal titles to further their brand.” Sharon Osbourne, never one to hold back on a panel show, called his behavior “embarrassing” and suggested he’d “found his way into the wrong place.” Even Joan Rivers, before her passing, got in a shot in Diary of a Mad Diva, tagging Harry a “spoiled baby” cashing in on his last name.

The American Backlash

The criticism didn’t stay confined to Fleet Street. Radio host Howard Stern needled Harry over the optics of complaining about royal life and wealth while living large in Montecito, California. Political commentator Candace Owens went further, framing Harry’s relationship with Meghan and his public attacks on the royal family as calculated and manipulative rather than heartfelt. Together, the American voices turned what had been a British media storm into a transatlantic pile-on.

From Beloved Prince to Divisive Celebrity

The through-line critics kept coming back to was simple: Harry built his early reputation on service and charity, then pivoted to headline-grabbing interviews and commercial deals that painted his own family as the villain. Whether that’s a fair read or not, it’s the narrative that stuck with Morgan, Hopkins, Osbourne, Lady Colin Campbell, Stern and Owens alike — and it’s a sharp contrast to how other royal family members have managed their public image since stepping outside the traditional Buckingham Palace playbook.

None of this scared off Harry and Meghan’s supporters, who point to the couple’s charity work and the family dysfunction detailed in pieces like the timeline of Meghan Markle’s parents’ relationship as context for why the couple wanted out in the first place. But for Morgan, Hopkins and company, the goodwill ran out the moment royal grievances turned into a media rollout — and as of mid-2021, none of them showed any sign of letting up.
