Two sides of the same coin: Piers Morgan’s triumph and Meghan’s downfall

Piers Morgan, former co-host of Good Morning Britain, had a triumphant moment as he received a Broadcasting Award.

In a surprising turn of events, he thanked Meghan Markle for inadvertently boosting his career.

The pair were spotted together at the Trick Awards in central London, with Mr. Morgan sharing the picture on his Instagram and captioning it “back together.”

However, the reunion wasn't entirely joyous for Susanna Reid, as Mr. Morgan won the News Presenter Award, beating her to the accolade.

The outspoken presenter left the ITV flagship show in March after a controversy surrounding his remarks about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

When asked about Meghan's thoughts on his win, he nonchalantly replied, “Who cares?

Honestly, she's been great for my career, to be honest with you.

I really want to thank her.”

Interestingly, ITV's chief executive, Dame Carolyn McCall, recently stated that the broadcaster strongly defended Morgan during an investigation by Ofcom regarding his comments about the Duchess.

These remarks generated over 50,000 complaints, setting a record for the watchdog.

However, earlier this month, the program was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Speaking at the Royal Television Society Cambridge Convention, Dame Carolyn emphasized that ITV's defense was based on the principles of freedom of speech and expression.

Following Ofcom's ruling, Piers Morgan himself questioned whether he could make a comeback to Good Morning Britain.

Dame Carolyn confirmed during the conference that he had resigned from his position.

Nevertheless, she expressed her expectation of seeing the presenter, along with former GB News chairman Andrew Neill, working on a global platform in the near future.

In his column, Morgan revealed that he was informed about Meghan Markle writing directly to Dame Carolyn McCall on the night before his departure, demanding his removal from the show.

He criticized Meghan for playing the gender and maternity card, describing it as “nauseating.”

He questioned the extent to which an actress could dictate who presents a morning television news program.

Celia Walden, Piers Morgan's wife, has also joined in criticizing Meghan Markle, following her husband's lead.

In a recent interview, the author and journalist expressed her disapproval of Meghan's behavior, particularly after her bombshell chat with Oprah Winfrey in March, which ultimately led to Piers' exit from Good Morning Britain.

Celia described Meghan's actions as impudent and vulgar, aligning herself with her husband's views on the former Suits actress.

While she didn't agree with Piers walking off set, she admitted that her opinions towards the royal family are gradually aligning with his.

Piers Morgan ignited controversy in March during a heated argument with Alex Beresford over Meghan and her claims made during the Oprah interview.

His refusal to believe Meghan's statements about her mental health struggles and experiences of racial discrimination within the royal family landed him in hot water with Ofcom.

The incident culminated in the controversial TV presenter storming off air and subsequently stepping down as a host of the daytime show.

In conclusion, Piers Morgan's career received a significant boost thanks to Meghan Markle's unintentional contribution.

While he expressed gratitude towards her, the controversy surrounding his remarks continues to divide opinions.

Meanwhile, Celia Walden has emerged as a vocal critic of Meghan, aligning herself with her husband's views on the Duchess.

The fallout from the Oprah interview has left a lasting impact on both Piers Morgan and the royal family, with no end to the debate in sight.
