ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add,\u201d ITV said in a statement, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/europe\/piers-morgan-itv-meghan-walkoff\/2021\/03\/09\/f1156ffe-80c7-11eb-be22-32d331d87530_story.html\">The Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan left the morning show following a flood of complaints over his criticism of Markle. ITV launched an investigation of Morgan following the outcry, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/europe-meghan-markle-piers-morgan-prince-harry-talk-shows-d32613d1cb29e790a7d0fd15392537a5?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&amp;utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_source=Twitter\">Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Harry and Markle sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey in which the outcast royals made a number of damaging claims against the royal family and the institution of the monarchy. The couple claimed that Markle was a victim of racism at Buckingham Palace from the British tabloids. They also claimed that one unnamed member of the royal family expressed concerns over the color of their son Archie\u2019s skin while Markle was pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>Markle also claimed that the palace barred her from seeking treatment for suicidal thoughts while she was pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday\u2019s broadcast of \u201cGood Morning Britain,\u201d Morgan said he \u201cdidn\u2019t believe a word\u201d of what Markle claimed in the Winfrey interview. Morgan has long been a critic of Markle since she and Harry split from the royal family and moved to the United States to pursue private business ventures.<\/p>\n<p>During a heated exchange with \u201cGood Morning Britain\u201d weatherman Alex Beresford, Morgan briefly walked off the set on live television. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/piers-morgan-walks-off-his-live-morning-show-after-row-with-co-host-over-meghan-markle\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Beresford, who is also biracial, said Morgan has a grudge against Markle.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI understand that you\u2019ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle and she cut you off,\u201d he said,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9341281\/Piers-Morgan-storms-GMB-furious-row-weatherman-Alex-Beresford-Meghan-Markle.html\">according<\/a>&nbsp;to The Daily Mail. \u201cI understand that you don\u2019t like Meghan Markle, you\u2019ve made it so clear a number of times on this program, a number of times.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cShe\u2019s entitled to cut you off if she wants to,\u201d he added. \u201cHas she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don\u2019t think she has. But yet you continue to trash her.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Beresford also defended Markle. \u201cThere was bad press around the engagement before the engagement and everything that has followed since has been incredibly damaging, quite clearly to Meghan\u2019s mental health and also to Harry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Morgan then stormed off the live show, saying, \u201c\u2018OK, I\u2019m done with this. Sorry. You can trash me mate but not on my own show. See you later.\u201d He came back a short time later and told Beresford that he would stay if they had a debate in a \u201ccivilized manner.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou launching into a pretty personally derogatory monologue on one of your colleagues probably isn\u2019t one of the best ways to go about it,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cAs much as I\u2019d like to sit here taking abuse from you, that\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/i-wouldnt-believe-it-if-she-read-me-the-weather-report-piers-morgan-furiously-rips-meghan-markle-after-oprah-interview\">\u2018I Wouldn\u2019t Believe It If She Read Me The Weather Report\u2019: Piers Morgan Furiously Rips Meghan Markle After Oprah Interview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
