The Good Morning Britain presenter has taken the Duke of Duchess of Sussex to task for still using their titles after stepping away from the Royal Family this year. Mr Morgan has frequently called for Meghan and Harry to be stripped of their royal titles after the couple moved to the US, after Meghan has begun urging Americans to vote.
In an article written for the Daily Mail, Mr Morgan claimed the Sussexes use their royal titles to further their brand now they have moved into private life.
He said: “For all their constant talk of ‘equality’, they deliberately brand themselves as royals, perhaps the most elitist, unequal, privileged group of human beings on earth.
“And they do that because it makes them massively more commercially attractive to the likes of Netflix who just shelled out a rumoured $150 million to have them produce woke documentaries.”
Mr Morgan’s comments came after the couple signed with the streaming giant to produce shows for the next five years according to royal expert Rachel Bowie.

Mr Morgan also savaged the Sussexes for urging American’s to vote in the upcoming US election.
The couple released a video on National Voter Registration Day calling on American’s to take part in the upcoming election.
Harry said he and Meghan “reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity”, whereas the Duchess told voters they “deserve to be heard”.
Mr Morgan said in response: “By expressing themselves in such a brazenly partisan manner, they’ve crossed a massive line which should now have serious consequences for the couple who specialise in wanting their royal cake and the freedom to eat it.
“The Royals don’t do politics. Not publicly, anyway.”
Harry and Meghan are believed to be releasing their first project with Netflix in 2021, according to Ms Bowie on the Royally Obsessed podcast.
She said: “They’re probably busy working because sources last week revealed that one of the Sussexes’ Netflix shows will air as soon as 2021.
“We could have one of their Netflix shows in less than a year. It was Omid Scobie who said that on his HeirPod podcast.
“Their whole deal is only five years long. So we are going to get a whole lot of Sussex content really quickly.”
Harry and Meghan said in statement announcing their partnership with Netflix: Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.”
Rhiannon Mill, a royal expert, told Sky News Meghan and Harry have found an “ideal partnership” to tackle the issues they find important.
She added: “It gives them a platform to talk about those issues, those platforms, those causes that matter to them and that has been the big problem for them in the past.
“That is why in some ways they felt constrained by the Royal Family, that is why they wanted to step away.
“This allows them now to tell their own story and have a huge international platform.”
