Meghan Markle Determined to Have the Last Word in Feud with Piers Morgan

is not backing down after Piers Morgan's recent victory with Ofcom, and sources say she is more determined than ever to have the final say.

The Duchess of Sussex is reportedly preparing to retaliate against the watchdog's ruling, particularly after the former Good Morning Britain presenter, aged 56, made outspoken comments following his win.

A royal expert has warned that if Meghan does respond, it could deepen the divide between the royal family and the Sussexes even further.

Meghan had previously reported Piers' tirade about her on Good Morning Britain to both ITV and Ofcom, and she is said to be upset that the TV presenter's outburst was deemed an unwarranted restriction on freedom of expression.

According to journalist Adam Hellicker, Meghan's determination will only grow stronger, and she will step up her game.

However, he cautioned that any further action from Meghan could leave the relationship with the royal family in ruins for years to come.

“The divide is getting ever deeper,” Adam stated, adding that the longer this feud continues, the more difficult it will be to repair the damage.

Following the ruling, Meghan's friend and royal editor for Harper's Bazaar, Omid Scobie, expressed his disagreement with the decision on Twitter.

He argued that while everyone should be entitled to express their opinions about public figures, discrediting someone's mental health issues on TV perpetuates a dangerous stigma and puts others at risk.

Piers, not one to stay silent, quickly fired back at the journalist, mocking him with the words, “Pipe down, licks piddle.”

Piers also accused Omid of trashing the Queen in his book without considering the mental health of a grieving 95-year-old woman.

In a significant win for Piers Morgan in his ongoing feud with , Britain's media watchdog, Ofcom, has cleared him of any wrongdoing.

This ruling comes after Piers called Meghan a liar during a March episode of Good Morning Britain, where he dismissed her claims of struggling with suicidal thoughts during her interview with .

Outraged viewers lodged 57,000 complaints with Ofcom, including one from Meghan herself.

Piers was given an ultimatum to apologize to Meghan if he wanted to keep his job, but he refused and ultimately resigned.

In its decision, Ofcom stated that Piers was entitled to express his disbelief in the allegations made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as well as to hold and express strong views challenging their account.

The regulator emphasized that the broadcasting code allows for individuals to express strongly held and robustly argued opinions, even if they are potentially harmful or highly offensive.

Restricting such views would be an unwarranted and chilling limitation on freedom of expression for both broadcasters and audiences.

Piers celebrated the ruling on Twitter, expressing his delight that Ofcom endorsed his right to disbelieve the incendiary claims made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to , many of which have been proven untrue.

He hailed the decision as a resounding victory for free speech and a defeat for “Princess Pinocchio.”

However, despite this outcome, ITV sources have confirmed that there are no plans for Piers Morgan to return to Good Morning Britain.

Royal author Angela Levin believes that Meghan will be deeply upset by Ofcom's ruling.

She predicts that Meghan will consult her lawyers to explore any possible actions she can take, as she cannot tolerate someone questioning her truthfulness.

Angela also noted that Meghan has always presented herself as a compassionate and understanding person who cares for others.

As the feud between Meghan Markle and Piers Morgan continues, it remains to be seen how this ongoing conflict will impact the relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family.

The divide appears to be widening, leaving many to wonder if reconciliation is even possible in the future.
