In case you missed it, Meghan Markle is writing a children’s book. And as expected, Piers Morgan is absolutely fuming over the news.

Yesterday, The Bench was announced as the first book written by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, and is said to be inspired by the relationship between Prince Harry and their son, Archie.

With illustrations by award-winning artist Christian Robinson, The Bench is a children’s book told from a mother’s perspective on father-son relationships with families from all walks of life featured in the graphics.

In a statement, Meghan explained that The Bench “started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day [2018], the month after Archie was born”.

“That poem became this story,” the Duchess continued. “My hope is that The Bench resonates with every family, no matter the make-up, as much as it does with mine.”

Set to release on June 8, the 40-page book written for three to seven-year-olds will also get an audiobook version narrated by Meghan Markle.

Now despite the idea of Meghan Markle writing a kid’s book actually just being some cute and innocent fun, Piers Morgan is expectedly disgusted by the project and has called the whole thing “ludicrously inappropriate”.

Clearly still holding onto the fact that he was rejected by the Duchess way back when, Morgan took to his terrible Daily Mail column and penned an entire opinion piece about the hypocrisy of Meghan “preaching” about father-child relationships when she “disowned her own dad and wrecked her husband’s relationship with his”.

Claiming The Bench is worthy of the title of “world’s most ludicrously inappropriate book”, Morgan argues that the Duchess has an “unlimited thirst for committing attention-seeking acts of gargantuan hypocrisy”.

“Lest we forget, Ms Markle has ruthlessly disowned her father Thomas and refuses to have anything to do with him despite the fact they now live just 70 miles from each other,” Piers Morgan wrote. “She also spray-gunned Thomas in her lie-packed Oprah whine-a-thon in a manner that was more ‘ice, rage and irritation’ than ‘warmth, joy and comfort’.”

Moving onto Prince Harry, Morgan sooked that Harry “trashed his father” and “ditched his family, country, and duty because his chillingly controlling and ambitious wife wanted him to” — all while Prince Charles lay sick in hospital.

The hater expectedly continued to harp on about Meghan Markle’s apparent “staggering hypocrisy” and “extraordinary tone-deafness” in deciding to… write a book?

“The whole notion of Meghan Markle dishing out advice to anyone about the relationship between fathers and children is absolutely ridiculous given the appalling relationships she and her husband have with their own fathers,” Morgan wrote.

“I’d honestly rather hear parenting tips from Britney Spears’s god-awful father because at least they still talk to each other.”

“If she really cared about father-child relationships, she’d take a chauffeur-driven limousine on the hour-long trip to see her own father who’s never even met either Harry or Archie,” Piers Morgan closed out his sad article.

May I remind you that all this criticism stemmed from the Duchess deciding to *checks notes* write a children’s book — an activity that is not out of the ordinary for Royals. Piers Morgan is just obsessed with Meghan.

But this embarrassing obsession with everything Meghan Markle does has no real-world impact anyway. The Bench is already a Best Seller and pre-orders are sold out on Amazon. Meanwhile, Piers Morgan had to “quit” his job on Good Morning Britain after all the vile comments he made about the Duchess and her Oprah interview.

So it’s pretty clear who’s winning here.
