Meghan Markle sent a formal complaint to ITV regarding Piers Morgan's comments against her.

During the event interview granted by the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry to Oprah Winfrey, the ex-star of

Suits

spoke of the "suicidal thoughts" that had invaded her when the couple was still living in the United Kingdom.

The actress also claimed that she unsuccessfully asked for help at Buckingham Palace.

On Monday, on the set of

Good Morning Britain

, Piers Morgan said he did not believe Archie's mother's story.

Words that caused a real outcry across the Channel.

Many associations related to the issue of mental health reacted, causing the departure of the presenter the next day.

Not in a personal capacity

Since then, ITV News royal correspondent Chris Ship has confirmed that Meghan Markle has officially filed a complaint with the channel, not in a personal capacity, but for the impact of Piers Morgan's remarks on British opinion.

Indeed, the Duchess feared that the presenter's statements would have negative consequences on the perception of the population vis-à-vis suicidal people.

In addition, according to the

Guardian

, a dozen employees of the show supported Meghan Markle's complaint and condemned Piers Morgan's comments.

The latter had also left the set of

Good Morning Britain

in the middle of the show after being strongly angry with the presenter of the weather forecast Alex Beresford.

He had just criticized him live for his comments on Meghan Markle, calling them "evil", and claiming that he had an "obsession" for the Duchess of Sussex.

“I understand you have a personal relationship with Meghan Markle - or you had one and she kicked you out of her life.

She has the right to take you out of her life if she wants to.

Has she said anything about you since?

No, and yet you continue to spoil it, ”the meteorologist had launched.

In addition, more than 40,000 viewers reported Piers Morgan's comments to Ofcom, the UK equivalent of the CSA.
