Doubting Meghan's account on Good Morning Britain

On March 8 and 9, 2021, Piers Morgan sparked controversy on Good Morning Britain by expressing skepticism regarding Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's revelations during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Meghan candidly discussed her struggles with mental health, including suicidal thoughts, and alleged that she faced racist remarks from members of the royal family. The situation escalated on March 9 when Morgan engaged in a heated exchange with co-host Alex Beresford, who defended Meghan's right to speak out and criticized Morgan's dismissive attitude. This confrontation led to Morgan walking off the set, and he subsequently resigned from the program later that day. The UK's mental health charity Mind expressed disappointment in Morgan's comments, highlighting the importance of treating individuals with mental health issues with dignity and empathy. ITV's chief executive supported Meghan's statements, and it was reported that Meghan had lodged a complaint with ITV regarding Morgan's remarks. This incident underscores the ongoing discussions surrounding mental health awareness and the impact of public discourse on sensitive issues.
