“I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report,” he said.
As reported by The Guardian and The Telegraph, it is understood that a formal complaint was submitted on behalf of the Duchess of Sussex to ITV regarding Morgan’s comments.
An ITV spokesperson refused to deny the reports to The Telegraph and told The Independent that they wouldn’t be commenting further.
Good Morning Britain returned to our screens on Wednesday (10 March) morning, with Susanna Reid presenting alongside Ranvir Singh.
Addressing Morgan’s exit, Reid referred to the presenter as “an outspoken, challenging, opinionated, disruptive broadcaster”.
Morgan, meanwhile, tweeted saying that he stood by his comments about Markle.
