Prince Harry and Meghan Markle delighted fans after revealing they named the royal baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, earlier today.
However, while everyone rushed to congratulate the Duke and Duchess on their adorable son – and his unique moniker – one person wasn’t too impressed.
In fact, Piers Morgan branded the name a ‘striking blow for diversity and feminism’.
Taking to Twitter, the 54-year-old made his feelings perfectly clear as he fumed: ‘So the royal couple, in a striking blow for diversity & feminism, have given their son one of the most popular white middle-class first names, Archie, and a second name, Harrison, that was chosen because it stands for ‘Harry’s son’ (I’m serious..). Hilarious.’
We’re not sure that’s the only reason they went with Harrison, to be fair…
The Good Morning Britain presenter’s fans weren’t on board with his criticisms, explaining he wouldn’t have been happy with whatever name Meghan and Harry went for.
Except for Piers, of course…
‘It’s their choice, however they named their son, people would have something to say!.. It’s their business, leave them alone and be happy for them..,’ one replied.
‘Bad form. You’d have attacked the choice either way..,’ another commented.
A Twitter user said: ‘If they’d given him a name seen as “diverse” they’d be “betraying the heritage of the royal family”. It’s their child so should name him as they see fit just like everyone else can.’
While many more begged the presenter to simply leave the couple alone.
Maybe he’s still a bit sensitive from his ‘simulating childbirth live on air’ stint this morning…
The Royal couple aren’t the only people to have been met with Piers’ fury this week, as he also ripped into Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala outfit.
Despite many rushing to praise the 38-year-old for her daring look – designed by Thierry Mugler, just FYI – the ITV presenter was having none of it, branding the reality star’s dress ‘a state’.
‘I mean, look at the state of that,’ Piers began during a segment on Good Morning Britain.
‘I’m not being funny, but Kanye [West] can’t even look up. He’s like, “For God’s sake.”
‘I’m not being funny and I’m not being rude either, I’m being observational,’ he continued. ‘What’s camp about that?
‘Kim Kardashian is the only one who went out like that and put on clothes as part of her outfit, that’s more than she normally wears.’
