Meghan Markle called out for 'absurd double standard' of British Vogue issue by Piers Morgan

As per usual, Piers Morgan is taking immense issue with Meghan Markle's latest move.

On the heels of the reveal of the latest issue of British Vogue, which the Duchess of Sussex helped Editor-in-Chief Edward Enniful put together, Morgan dedicated his column in the Daily Mail to the collaboration, which Morgan says is just another example of Meghan "forcing her radical liberal opinions upon us."

For the "Forces for Change" issue that she guest edited, Meghan chose 15 "trailblazers" and "changemakers" to spotlight in the issue, including the likes of Gemma Chan, Laverne Cox, Jane Fonda, Salma Hayek, Jameela Jamil, Yara Shahidi and Christy Turlington.

Morgan saw the duchess' championing of "trailblazing female changemakers -- from activists to artists, prime ministers to climate change campaigners -- who are breaking barriers and setting the agenda across the globe" as far too political for a member of the British royal family (especially considering that the issue closes with an interview with former first lady Michelle Obama).

"Being a royal means you stay out of politics. Here is Meghan being about as political as any royal has ever been," he wrote. "Meghan’s purpose in guest-editing Vogue is not, as she claims, to simply change the world; it’s to make it the PC-crazed one she wants it to be, and to drag us all with her to ‘woke’ Utopia. Yet by forcing her radical liberal opinions upon us, she’s playing a very ill advised game that I can guarantee will end in tears. There’s a reason royals stay out of politics, and it’s that they run the risk of looking like rank hypocrites."

Additionally, the former "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant took umbrage with Meghan's guest-editing role because he saw it as yet another example of her propensity for elitist activity and milking her platform as a royal for her own gain.

"Meghan didn’t need to guest-edit Vogue. She’s already guzzled at the udder of royal fame like a starving desert traveller arriving at an over-flowing oasis," he said. "I’m sure the one thing we all need most in the world right now is a fabulously rich and entitled Princess lecturing us on privilege from her servant-laden royal quarters."

Morgan also cited Meghan's continued call for privacy around her growing family as another moment of hypocrisy on her part considering she takes on high-profile gigs such as this one. Meghan and Harry famously forewent royal protocol when welcoming their baby Archie, waiting longer to share photos with the public and choosing to hold a private christening for him months later.

"Meghan’s shown a worrying propensity since marrying Harry for wanting to have cake and eat it," he said. "She constantly bleats about privacy but also wants to edit magazines to promote herself and tell us how to lead our lives. This absurd double standard won’t fly, I’m afraid."

At the end of the day, the British TV personality thinks that Meghan can't decide whether she wants to be a celebrity or a royal. And, in his mind, she must choose because, "she can't be both."

"Here’s my advice to Meghan: take a long hard look in the mirror you stuck on your Vogue cover, and ask yourself one question: 'Do I want to be a royal or a virtue-signalling political activist celebrity?'" he wrote. "She can’t be both."
