Piers Morgan Mocks Prince Harry For Wanting 'More Equal World' For Archie, Lilibet

Prince Harry's call for equality for children was mocked by one of his and his wife Meghan Markle's longtime critics.

The Duke of Sussex shared his future hopes and dreams for the next generation, including his young children — 2-year-old son Archie and 10-month-old daughter Lilibet Diana — while speaking to kid reporters Sophia and Jay, of Kindercorrespondent (which translates from Dutch to Children's Correspondent) at the ongoing Invictus Games in The Hague, the Netherlands.

Prince Harry said that his wish for his children was for them to "grow up in a fairer ... more equal world," People reported.

The comment was mocked on Twitter by British journalist Piers Morgan, who pointed to Prince Harry's privileged childhood and wealth.

"More equal? A spoiled privileged prince who inherited millions & now makes 100s of millions fleecing his royal titles from his $11 [million] Californian mansion wants EQUALITY for his kids?" Morgan tweeted, adding rolling on the floor laughing emojis.

Some Twitter users seemed to share Morgan's sentiments, with some claiming that Prince Harry and Markle have mainly focused on enriching themselves in the past few years.

"What have they done since relocating to [the U.S.] to make the world a better place? ...mmmm well, basically NOTHING. They had concentrated their energies on making their own world a better place generating more money for themselves only," one person claimed.

"[Harry] can start by distributing his own wealth equally among us. The world would definitely be a more equal place if all of us were as wealthy as him," another suggested.

"I think it's more that the language he's using implies his kids are oppressed when they are among the most privileged in the world," a third netizen opined.

But many others saw no problem with Prince Harry's statement and rallied behind the duke.

"He wants a world that's more equal for everyone. For future generations, for children growing up now. That's a world he wants his children to see," one Twitter user wrote.

"So you can only have those aims for your children if you're poor?" another netizen asked in response to those questioning Prince Harry's wish for his kids.

"Harry is rising above the Noise. That's a good father right there," a third supporter commented.

During his conversation with the two young Dutch reporters Sunday, Prince Harry revealed that his one wish for his and Markle's children was for them "to grow up in a better world. To grow up in a fairer world, a safer world, a more equal world."

He acknowledged that it won't be an easy feat, but he vowed that he "will never, ever, ever rest until I as a parent have at least tried to make the world a better place for them."

"Because it is our responsibility that the world is the way that it is now. I don't think we should be bringing children into the world unless we are going to make that commitment to make it better for them," he explained. "We cannot steal your future."

The Invictus Games, which Prince Harry founded in 2014, were previously held in London in 2014, Orlando in 2016, Toronto in 2017 and Sydney in 2018. They will next take place in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 2023.

The 2022 edition of the Invictus Games runs until Friday.
