The former Good Morning Britain (GMB) host walked off set in 2021 after his comments about Markle were challenged following the couples tell-all Oprah interview. During a discussion Morgan stated he didn’t “believe a word” of Markle’s claims, including that she was unhappy and was struggling with her mental health.
Thousands of complaints were made to Ofcom following the comments, with GMB asking Morgan to apologise, with the presenter opting not to and stepping down from his role. An ITV spokesperson said at the time: “Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain. ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”
A subsequent Ofcom report in September 2021 found that after “careful consideration,” Morgan did not breach broadcasting rules.

Morgan has stated that he met Markle in 2016 after the pair chatted on Twitter and developed an online friendship. Speaking on the Late Late Show, Morgan explained that they had enjoyed “two hours in the pub” together when Meghan visited the UK to watch Serena Williams at Wimbledon and had “got on brilliantly”.
He recalled: “I put her in a cab, and it turns out it was the cab that took her to a party where she met Prince Harry. The next night they had a solo dinner and that was the last I ever heard from Meghan Markle. I never heard from her again - Meghan Markle ghosted me.”
Morgan explained: “I really liked her, this is why it hurts,” before adding: “I just think she’s a slight social climber I’m afraid.”
