Piers Morgan is a little bitch

Contrarian conservative pundit Piers Morgan has once again cemented his little bitch status by lashing out at renegade members of the royal family. Morgan used his new position as a Sun tabloid columnist to refer to Prince Harry as a “shameless, deluded, woefully entitled hypocrite” last week after Harry decided to file a lawsuit against the British government for not allowing him to pay for a Metropolitan police protection detail during future family visits to England.

Over the weekend, BBC viewers complained after Morgan went on yet another rant about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the ITV morning show Good Morning Britain, where the pundit used to be employed. Morgan stepped down from his post on the show last March after storming off the set during a discussion about the then-controversial Oprah Winfrey interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

So @alexberesfordTV defends Meghan on @gmb and criticises @piersmorgan for what he’d said about Meghan’s mental health.
Piers walks off the set.

Piers Morgan vs. Meghan Markle

He had already criticized Markle repeatedly in the past, and had questioned the veracity of the couple’s claims — even Markle’s suicidal thoughts. ITV reportedly received over 41,000 complaints about Morgan’s attack on the self-exiled royals following the March 2021 broadcast.

We have launched an investigation into Monday’s episode of Good Morning Britain under our harm and offence rules.

“Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain. ITV has excepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”
