Piers Morgan is back at it, taking aim at Meghan Markle.
This time the outspoken TV personality, and one-time friend of the Duchess of Sussex, has compared the Suits star to the Kardashians in the TMZ special Harry & Meghan: The Royals in Crisis.
During his appearance in the documentary, Morgan also accuses the American-born Duchess of "playing" the UK and royal family to achieve international stardom.
"If Meghan Markle thinks she is going to emerge from this as some kind of Princess Diana figure, she needs to think again," he said.
"She's going to end up like a mini royal Kim Kardashian with all the ignominy that goes with that title.
"Already you are seeing a big backlash in Britain and the rest of the world really sees what it is, which is a power grab by two ego-mad, self-obsessed, virtue signalling 'progressive' young people who basically stamped their feet and the Queen rolled over."
In the past, Kim Kardashian has defended the Duchess, saying she understands the scrutiny the couple are going through.
"I can definitely empathise with their need for having a secure, safe place and taking time for themselves and having privacy when they need it," she told The Project.
How did Prince Harry become a pivotal player in shaking up a thousand-year-old monarchy? And what does his marriage to Meghan Markle mean for one of the world's oldest dynasties? Listen to 9Honey's royal podcast, The Windsors:
During the hour-long documentary Morgan didn't hold back, accusing the former Suits star of having a "game plan" from Day One.
"What she wants to do now is become a global superstar, riding off the stratospheric fame that she's acquired by marrying a member of the British Royal Family.
"And I'm sorry to sound cynical but I think that's what her game plan has been the entire time.
"I think she's played us as a country, I think she's played the royals. "
The Good Morning Britain co-host who is regularly salty on TV and social media about the abrupt end to his brief friendship with Meghan, also labelled Megxit the "beginning of the end of the monarchy".
"If you end up having renegade royals running around the world like global celebrities, if you allow them to do that, to ruthlessly commercially cash-in on their royal fame, that is the beginning of the end of the monarchy.
"That's why I am stunned that the Queen has allowed them to do that."

However, it wasn't all negative about the couple across the TV special, which aired on Fox News in the US last night.
American Shark Tank personality Mark Cuban said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have a very successful career outside the royal family and likened them to the Obamas.
"As long as they stay authentic, as long as they limit their projects and don't try to sell everything and anything, then I think they are the new Obamas," he said.
Also appearing in the TV special is Meghan's estranged father Thomas Markle, TV psychologist Dr Phil and reality TV producer and TV presenter Ryan Seacrest.
Harry & Meghan: The Royals in Crisis airs on Channel 9, Monday February 3, 9:20pm.
