Famous or somewhat infamous, TV Broadcaster Piers Morgan has left Good Morning Britain for his controversial comment on Meghan Markle.

Piers a pro-conservative media icon commented on Harry-Meghan's interview with Oprah, saying,  “I don’t believe a word she says, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe her if she read me a weather report.”

He accused Harry-Meghan to be “grasping, selfish, scheming Kardashian-wannabes.” His comments attracted a large amount of criticism which eventually made him leave the famous ITV show, which he hosted for more than six years.

Piers has been part of controversial sacking previously. Seventeen years ago, he was fired as editor of the Daily Mirror after publishing faked Iraqi prisoner abuse photographs. A decade after that he was fired from CNN for his lectures over gun control, which cost him the US audience.

Morgan's comment to the Harry-Meghan interview seemed insensitive to a much extent.

He has always been radicalizing figure in the Broadcasting industry and is often hated by many.
