He mimicked Meghan this morning, saying 'hand me my sharpie' as he pretended to be the Duchess
PIERS Morgan today slammed "privileged" Meghan Markle for giving signed bananas to sex workers - and said she should "hang out with them" at night.
The Good Morning Britain host mocked the Duchess of Sussex after she wrote messages such as “you are brave” and “you are strong” on fruit distributed to prostitutes around Bristol.
He mimicked Meghan this morning, saying "hand me my sharpie" as he pretended to be the Duchess.
He added: ";She needs to go out in the middle of the night on her own and meet sex workers on the street and hang out with them.
"There's a way of doing these things.
"Giving a sex worker a banana is clearly exposing her to potential mockery.
"If you had been advising Meghan Markle before this and she said, 'I've got a really great idea, I'm going to give sex workers who are really struggling at the moment signed bananas, would you have said 'maybe not the bananas'."
Meghan was branded "offensive" by one of the sex workers she left messages for.
A sex worker called Nikki branded the move “really stupid”. She added: “People out here struggle to eat and sleep and she gifts us some words on a piece of fruit.
“She has the means to help us more than that. It’s offensive, you know.”
Meghan wrote the notes on Friday during an impromptu stop with Prince Harry at the One25 charity in Bristol.
But one woman helped by the organisation welcomed the gesture.
The homeless sex worker, who did not want to be named, said: “It’s so cold right now, it’s a struggle to raise money to get a bed for the night, so any food and bedding is a big help. I think it’s great Meghan is supporting them. It is really sweet.”
A volunteer from One25 also backed the Duchess, who copied the idea from a dinner lady sending positive messages to schoolkids in the US.
The worker added: “The messages were lovely and sensitive. I think the women who would have received them would have appreciated it. Knowing there’s someone supporting them would mean a lot.”
