UK regulator clears broadcaster over Piers Morgan's Meghan comments

Wed, 01st Sep 2021 10:15

LONDON, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Britain's media regulator has
ruled that high-profile presenter Piers Morgan did not breach
the broadcasting code in his criticism of Prince Harry's wife
Meghan on ITV's "Good Morning Britain" breakfast show earlier
this year.

The programme attracted more than 41,000 complaints about
Morgan's comments on Meghan's Oprah Winfrey interview, including
from Meghan herself. Morgan left the show following the row.

"Our decision is that overall the programme contained
sufficient challenge to provide adequate protection and context
to its viewers," Ofcom said in a statement. "The programme did
not breach the Ofcom Broadcasting Code."
