Prince Harry has been dealt a further blow as an episode of The Royals Uncensored, which focused on the fact he lost his privacy court case against Associated Papers and praised the rest of the Royal Family for ignoring him, became a ratings smash. Piers Morgan confirmed the news just hours after it was revealed Harry, 41, had asked Elton John, 79, for money.
Taking to X, Piers shared a 50-second promo for the episode from July 9 in which presenter Katie Nicholl could be heard saying: “What the Royal Family is doing in ignoring him has been their strength and why their stars continue to rise!” Captioning the post Piers penned: “UPDATE: This new episode of The Royals Uncensored is highest viewed since launch. Thanks for watching!” The show, hosted by Katie alongside Jo Elvin, with insider analysis from the King’s former royal butler Grant Harrold, launched on April 30 this year.

It is part of Piers’ Uncensored brand and airs on YouTube. Shortly after its launch, it was picked up by 5, which began broadcasting it on June 27.
It garnered over 1million views online during its first few weeks of broadcast and this latest episode, dismissing Harry, has only boosted its figures further.
This is a further blow to the Duke of Sussex after he was humiliated when it emerged he had approached music icon Elton John for financial assistance.
The Rocket Man hitmaker has reportedly grown frustrated with Harry over the request for financial assistance, which is believed to have come just before their High Court defeat against the Daily Mail’s publisher, Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), last week.

Harry reportedly sought financial support from the singer-songwriter for the Invictus Games. The claims were made by royal reporter Paula Froelich, who alleged that sources told her the hitmaker had “had enough of the wayward and hot-tempered Prince”.
According to Paula, who reported last week that the Sussexes had been residing at Sir Elton’s home in the south of France before they travelled to the UK, the musician bluntly said: “I am not an ATM.”
“I am told that Harry, facing a massive funding shortfall for Invictus, had stopped by Elton and his husband David Furnish’s place in the South of France to ask for money before arriving in London,” Paula wrote in her Substack.
“Sir Elton, already aware that he would be on the hook for the majority of the legal bills should the claimants lose, was reportedly not interested in donating – especially as he knew he would be facing a massive payout in the event his group would not win their claims.”
