Piers Morgan is not bothered by the uproar following his public criticism of Meghan Markle, as confirmed by sources on page six.
The British bomber revealed that he was forced to leave his job at “Good Morning Britain” because he would not apologize to Markle for not believing the claims about his mental health, but a source who knows him says on page six that he is not worried and thrives in the uproar. “
Morgan, 55, left the set of the British talk show earlier this week after an air showdown with teammate Alex Berenson over Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. Later, the British broadcaster ITV confirmed that it would not return to its hosting concert.
Days later, the controversial journalist posted a long note on Instagram in which she revealed that she had “lost her job” because she “chose not to apologize” to the 39-year-old former actress.
A senior ITV source confirms Morgan’s claims, saying: “Piers was apologized for not believing in Meghan or would no longer be able to present ‘GMB’ and refused. If he had apologized, he would still be there. . “
Markle herself complained to ITV CEO Dame Carolyn McCall after Morgan christened her “Princess Pinocchio” and said she didn’t believe her story of feeling suicidal while pregnant with her. son, Archie, as he thought the comments could affect people dealing with his. mental health problems.
After the initial outburst over her comments, Morgan said live, “It’s not for me to wonder if she felt suicidal, I’m not in her mind and that’s for her to say. My real concern was the disbelief, frankly, and I am willing to prove to myself that no, and if I am wrong, it is a scandal, that he went to a member of the royal house and told them he was suicidal, and was told not to. it could have no help because it would be a bad thing for the family. If this is true, a) this person should be fired, and b) the royal family has serious questions that need to be answered. “
However, the clarification did not feel contrite enough and he was asked to apologize again on the air, but he refused.
But ultimately, Morgan is happy to have managed – on his last day on “GMB” – to beat rival “BBC Breakfast” for the first time.
“I had a goal when I joined @GMB-beat @BBCBreakfast in the rankings. On my last day, we did. This was due to the work and dedication of the whole team. Not everyone agrees with me, some I don’t even like, but we were a team … and we won. Thanks guys. I will miss you, ”Morgan tweeted.
