On Sunday night, CBS aired Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The Duchess of Sussex revealed that she was suicidal back when they were in London.
On Monday, Piers Morgan said he didn’t believe her on Good Morning Britain. On Tuesday, his co-host, Alex Beresford, called Morgan out on his abusive behavior towards Markle. Morgan couldn’t take it, stormed off the set, and “quit” the show.
Today, ITV’s Royal reporter Chris Ship reported, “So … the Duchess of Sussex formally filed a complaint to @ITV on Monday. It’s thought to have been sent to the broadcaster’s CEO.
Meghan raised concerns about how @piersmorgan’s words affect the issue of mental health and what it might do to others contemplating suicide.”
I have a feeling the executives at the network asked Morgan to publicly apologize to her after receiving the complaint, and he refused to do so. Thus, why he is no longer doing the show.
This morning, Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid read a statement about Morgan’s sudden departure. To me, it appears that she is not going to miss him, which is why the statement was scripted and not spoken from the heart. Something I have not seen Morgan have.
Tune in tomorrow for the latest update on Royal News.
