Piers Morgan has delivered a bombshell four-word reaction to the possibility of apologizing to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The Uncensored presenter addressed the issue in a new interview, five years after his controversial departure from Good Morning Britain.
Background of the Feud
In 2021, Morgan stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain following his comments about Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey. The 61-year-old broadcaster left the ITV programme after questioning the Duchess of Sussex's claims, which included allegations of racism. The incident triggered over 50,000 complaints to Ofcom, though the watchdog later ruled the comments did not breach broadcasting rules.
Four-Word Response
When asked if he would ever apologize to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Morgan gave a succinct reply: "I won't do that." Speaking to Grazia magazine, he elaborated: "If what you're seeking is, 'I'm so sorry for being mean to Meghan' - I wasn't. I won't do that."
Morgan's Defense
Morgan defended his past criticism, claiming the duchess had formally complained to ITV and "demanded my head on a plate," which he believes led to his exit. He also compared the Sussexes to Prince Andrew, suggesting Andrew had done "far worse" to the royal family. "They're not in the same league of wrongdoing as [Andrew's] been accused of," Morgan said, "but let's not mitigate the damage they caused when Prince Philip and then the late Queen were dying."
No Regrets
Morgan stated he has no regrets about his comments: "So, do I regret anything I said about them? No, I think it'll stand the test of time." At the time of his GMB exit, he described the whole situation as a "farce" but expressed satisfaction that it led to the creation of a network dedicated to preventing similar farces.
Ofcom's ruling noted that the programme provided balance and context, with opposing views "forcefully expressed by other presenters and guests."
