Piers Morgan didn’t pull any punches on Megyn Kelly’s show, blasting Meghan Markle as “Princess Pinocchio” and calling Prince Harry a “half-wit” in a no-nonsense takedown that many Americans will find refreshingly blunt. The confrontation was blunt and unapologetic — exactly the kind of unvarnished commentary conservatives have been missing from mainstream media for too long.
The segment aired as part of Megyn Kelly’s live show on November 14, 2025, where Morgan appeared to promote his new book and to explain why he thinks the whole woke celebrity industry has been foolishly rewarded for fakery. Morgan’s appearance quickly became the part of the show everyone is talking about, because he spoke plainly about celebrity grift while mainstream outlets keep protecting it.
Morgan’s message was reinforced by the fact he’s just published Woke Is Dead, a manifesto mocking the very culture that puts performative media personalities on pedestals while real Americans get ignored. He’s made a career out of refusing to sugarcoat the truth, and his book gives him fresh ammo to call out manufactured victimhood wherever he sees it.
This isn’t the first time Morgan has taken Meghan Markle apart in public; their bitter history goes back years, culminating in his 2021 exit from Good Morning Britain after his blunt rejection of her Oprah claims. Millions watched as his willingness to question her narrative drew howls from the censorious left — and Morgan walked away rather than bow to a new kind of media virtue police.
Conservatives see in Morgan’s remarks what they’ve seen for years: a carefully curated persona marketed by PR machines, not the authentic character our country admires. The Markle-Harry playbook — grand media moments, tearful interviews and lucrative spin-offs — has been a master class in packaging grievance into profit, and people are finally tired of being asked to sympathize with performance art.
Prince Harry’s celebrity pivot proves the point: tell-all memoirs and streaming deals have made him a global brand, not a public servant, and the returns are more spectacle than substance. His memoir Spare sold in the millions and the couple’s Netflix ambitions once dazzled investors, but the honeymoon with Hollywood has been rocky and the monetization of grievance only goes so far as audiences grow savvier.
Americans who still believe in honor, duty and honest public life should welcome Morgan’s willingness to speak plainly about elites who weaponize victimhood for fame and fortune. If the media won’t hold these celebrities accountable, conservative voices must, loudly and proudly, insist on truth and common sense in a country built on those values.
