Piers Morgan Triumphs Over “Cancel Culture” as U.K. Regulator Clears Him in Explosive Meghan Markle Controversy

“Freedom of Speech Wins”: Piers Morgan Vindicated After Brutal Clash with Meghan Markle Over Mental Health Claims

British television firebrand Piers Morgan has emerged victorious in a high-profile media battle that rocked the royal family and divided the nation.

U.K. broadcast regulator Ofcom has officially cleared Morgan over his controversial remarks questioning Meghan Markle’s claims of suicidal thoughts — a media scandal that saw him forced out of his role on Good Morning Britain earlier this year.

Morgan, never one to shy away from controversy, had ignited public fury in March after openly doubting the Duchess of Suss*x’s harrowing account of mental health struggles during her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Meghan, alongside Prince Harry, alleged that royal life had driven her to the brink of suicide — a claim Morgan said he did not believe “a single word” of.

The backlash was swift and merciless.

Meghan herself filed a formal complaint with broadcaster ITV, and Morgan dramatically stormed off live television after a fiery confrontation with co-host Alex Beresford.

Within hours, ITV announced Morgan’s departure, triggering a fierce debate about freedom of speech versus sensitivity around mental health.

But in a stunning ruling published Wednesday, Ofcom concluded that Morgan’s comments — while provocative — did not breach the U.K.’s Broadcasting Code.

The regulator declared that his views were aired with “sufficient context” and were a legitimate exercise in free expression.

“Mr. Morgan was entitled to say he disbelieved the Duke and Duchess of Suss*x’s allegations and to hold and express strong views that rigorously challenged their account,” the ruling read.

Ofcom did, however, express concern over Morgan’s “apparent disregard for the seriousness of anyone expressing suicidal thoughts.”

Nevertheless, the regulator praised Morgan’s co-hosts for providing adequate challenge and balance during the heated broadcast.

The ruling represents a dramatic victory for Morgan, who took to Twitter moments after the decision, writing:

“I’m delighted Ofcom has supported my right to disbelieve Meghan Markle’s outlandish claims.

This is a resounding victory for free speech and a resounding defeat for Princess Pinocchio.”

He cheekily followed up with the pointed question:

“Do I get my job back?”

Critics, however, were furious.

Activist Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu slammed the ruling as an endorsement of “white privilege” and “institutional racism,” accusing Ofcom of enabling harmful rhetoric against Meghan Markle.

U.K. actress Kelechi Okafor added fuel to the fire, tweeting that Ofcom’s decision would embolden “white men to continue to inflict more violence in the environments they have access to.”

Meanwhile, Morgan’s supporters hailed the verdict as a landmark moment in the war against “cancel culture” and political correctness gone mad.

The media storm traces back to Meghan’s vulnerable confession to Oprah Winfrey, in which she admitted, “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.”

Her heartfelt admission struck a chord worldwide — but also raised tough questions about media responsibility and the line between skepticism and insensitivity.

Morgan has since doubled down on his position, arguing that the media has a duty to scrutinize public figures — even royalty — and challenge narratives that go untested.

As the dust settles on this bitter media feud, one thing is clear: In the battle between cancel culture and free speech, Piers Morgan has lived to fight another day — and he’s not backing down.
