Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves at the centre of Piers Morgan's latest rant as he hit out at the couple for their scathing attacks on the Royal Family.

The couple briefly worked with Spotify and have a partnership with Netflix which is worth an estimated £80million ($100million).
As part of their Netflix deal, they released a docuseries in which they opened up about their time in the Royal Family. In the bombshell series, Harry detailed the breakdown of his relationship with his brother Prince William and also took aim at his father King Charles. Piers has now slammed the couple for "torching the reputations of their closest family".

"The Prince of Wales is now facing up to the massive responsibility that awaits him as Britain’s next head of state. But his own brother has gone out of his way to shatter his reputation. Why on earth would he want to reconcile? This has been a relentless, one-way attack," he wrote on TalkTV.
There have been reports of Harry being willing to re-join the monarchy "part-time" after his father was diagnosed with cancer. However, Piers believes the Duke of Sussex wouldn't be taken seriously.

It seems he's not the only one who disagrees with a part-time return to royal duties for Harry and Meghan. Before leaving the Royal Family, Meghan and Harry had proposed stepping down as senior royals, but still working to serve the monarchy.
The late Queen Elizabeth II, however, was not keen on the idea. She's reported to have told her grandson he would have to be "in or out," with there being no room for "half jobs". Harry was reportedly told to "walk away" if he couldn't accept her demands.
A source told the Daily Mail: "Harry was told very clearly in January by his grandmother that 'you work for the monarchy, the monarchy doesn't work for you'." They added: "Her Majesty was remarkably clear and decisive on that point and has never deviated from it."
