The world has taken pause for a moment to recognize and respect the death of Prince Philip. After a lengthy battle with his health, he passed away peacefully at Buckingham Palace, and fans across the world are mourning.
Piers Morgan, a dedicated and devout believer in the sanctity of the monarchy, is undoubtedly in mourning as well.
It didn't take him long to post a tribute message to the late Prince Philip on Twitter, which read as a short and sweet message, without any of the usual banter and ego-centric messaging that Morgan's fans have lately grown accustomed to.
However, the fan reaction to this tweet demonstrates a mixed bag of messages that reflect sadness and mourning, and messages that are egging Piers Morgan on, and adding additional layers of negative commentary about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Piers Sends Condolences
Piers Morgan is deeply saddened by the news that Prince Phillip has succumbed to his health issues. He, and the rest of the world were truly hoping to celebrate his 100th birthday this coming June 10th.
His death is truly a loss for the monarchy, the country, and the world.
Piers tweeted the following message for his fans and followers to view; "RIP Prince Philip, 99. A truly great Briton who dedicated his life to selfless public duty & was an absolute rock of devoted support to Her Majesty, The Queen, as the longest-serving royal consort to any British sovereign. A very sad day for our country. Thank you, Sir."
Some Fans Share His Sentiment
Many fans truly supported Piers and shared their words of respect and sincerest condolences by responding to his tweet. One fan wrote back to say; "Royal status, wealth and privilege is not universal, but grief is. Those who loved Prince Philip will not be spared from it. Condolences to them and to all that mourn loved ones, loss is painful no matter who you are. He really did serve." and many chimed in with the same sentiment.
A Different Perspective
However, some opted to stir the pot instead, and called out Piers on what his possible next move on Twitter would be.
One fan wrote; "Megan! She's going to have to attend and face the public!" and another fed into the drama by saying; "Surely she won't come...even Harry will struggle to get much support I suspect."
"Looking at some of the replies on here I see blame the black woman is in full operation," was soon followed by; "This Meghan’s fault yet lad or you giving it a bit of time before you have a go?"
Continuing along this path was a message that read; "Guess you'll be writing an article about how Harry and Meghan's interview played a factor."
Fans are glued to Twitter to see what tone Piers will take in his next Tweet.
