"GRIFTERS!" Is Harry & Meghan Australia Tour a Step Too Far? | Plus Josh Duhamel Interview

Piers Morgan and his guests assert that Harry and Meghan's visit to Australia is a calculated effort to generate income, leveraging their royal association without official royal duties. Denica Deorgio explicitly calls them 'Mr. and Mrs. Grifter,' using Australia as a 'cash cow' for photo opportunities and PR. Meghan's announced role as a guest judge on 'MasterChef Australia' is cited as evidence of commercial exploitation.

Denica Deorgio states, 'Mr. and Mrs. Grifter peers have come to Australia and are using us as a cash cow essentially' and mentions Meghan's role as a guest judge on 'MasterChef Australia.' Maureen Callahan notes, 'Netflix has dumped them. Spotify and Lemonata have dumped Megan. The coffers have dried up. They are in Australia where I am told reliably by many Australian audience members of the nerve they are not wanted.'

Multiple panelists argue that Harry and Meghan's titles should be removed, drawing a direct comparison to Prince Andrew, who had his titles stripped due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein. The argument is that if Andrew's actions dishonored the monarchy, Harry and Meghan's public criticisms and commercial ventures under royal guise are equally, if not more, detrimental.

Piers Morgan states, 'The titles need to be stripped. It needs to happen.' He adds, 'We now have precedent with Andrew, Mount Batton Windsor, who was Prince Andrew... He's had everything stripped. And to date, he's not been convicted of any crime. He certainly hasn't been out there attacking the royal family, attacking the monarchy on a global stage.'

The British monarchy is described as facing significant challenges, including the passing of Queen Elizabeth, King Charles's cancer diagnosis, and the Prince Andrew scandal. This vulnerability is exacerbated by Harry and Meghan's actions, which are seen as creating a 'rival royal family' and fostering apathy among younger generations, posing an existential threat to the institution's future.

Piers Morgan notes, 'The British monarchy is in the fight of his life. The late queen, its global figurehead for 70 years, is gone. The monarch is still battling cancer. There's relentless global scrutiny on the institution's historic sins.' Joe Elvin expresses concern that 'young people, my kids aren't that interested... apathy is dangerous for him.'

Meghan Markle is criticized for a perceived lack of understanding regarding her public role and for overtly commercializing her image. Her choice of expensive outfits for charity events, which are then promoted on her online platform, is highlighted as an example of profiting from her royal association.

Denica Deorgio details, 'She's profiting off the clothing she's wearing. She's got a $1,200 dress on. She's got a Christian Dior pumps on. She's got the Cartiier bracelets, the the Tiffany bracelet. She's put it all onto her online AI platform. So, she's going to these women's homeless shelters, wearing these outfits, and profiting of it.' Piers Morgan adds, 'I would say her biggest problem from the start has just been the tonedeafness, just not really getting it.'
