Piers Morgan quits "Good Morning Britain" after backlash over Meghan Markle comments

• The morning after Markle revealed that she had approached the Palace for help after having suicidal thoughts, Morgan said on GMB that he "didn't believe a word" of her claims. Ofcom announced that they would open an investigation into Morgan's comments.
• Morgan stormed off the set of the show on Tuesday morning after a co-host tore into him for his rhetoric and suggested that he was bitter about a fallout in his friendship with the Duchess of Sussex.

Between the lines: Morgan's resignation comes as the explosive Harry and Meghan interview, which drew an astonishing 11 million viewers in the U.K., has sparked a reckoning within both the royal family and the British tabloid media — two institutions that Prince Harry claimed in the interview are co-dependent and share an "invisible contract."
