Piers Morgan, famously dubbed the “arch-enemy” of Meghan Markle, has never hesitated to criticize and mock the Duchess in the media spotlight. After the explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, where the Sussexes made shocking accusations against the royal family, Morgan delivered a searing response on his show.
Unfiltered and unapologetic, Piers blasted Meghan, declaring, “I don’t believe a word she says. I wouldn’t believe a weather report if she was reading it. Her fierce attacks on our Royal Family are utterly disgraceful.”
The veteran journalist’s fiery comments sent shockwaves across the nation, leading to a flood of complaints to Ofcom, the UK’s communications regulator. Among the formal complaints was one from Meghan herself, demanding an apology. But instead of backing down, Morgan stood firm, refusing to apologize, and ultimately resigning from his position at Good Morning Britain.
Now, in a turn of events, Morgan is being hailed as the victor in his public feud with Meghan. Ofcom recently ruled that he did not breach any media regulations when he publicly called Meghan a liar on national television. In its statement, the watchdog said, “Mr. Morgan was entitled to say he disbelieved the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s allegations and to hold and express strong views that robustly challenged their account.”
Following Ofcom’s decision, a jubilant Piers Morgan took to Twitter, celebrating what he called a “resounding defeat for Princess Pinocchio,” a nickname that has now gained traction among internet users, further mocking Meghan for her perceived dishonesty.
Online commentators were quick to point out that this ruling is a significant blow to the Sussexes. With Harry and Meghan’s claims from the Oprah interview now under fresh scrutiny, the couple has yet to respond publicly to this latest setback.
As Meghan faces another bitter outcome in her ongoing feud with the British press, it remains to be seen how the Sussexes will handle this mounting wave of criticism. For now, Morgan’s victory stands as a symbolic triumph in the ongoing media battle between the Sussexes and the British establishment.
