Piers Morgan left Good Morning Britain this week after drawing complaints about his Meghan Markle comments — reportedly including from Meghan herself.
The Duchess of Sussex filed a formal complaint with the channel over Morgan's comments about her on Good Morning Britain, expressing concerns about how his remarks might affect the dialogue around mental health or impact someone experiencing suicidal thoughts, Variety reports. The Guardian is also reporting that a "formal complaint was lodged with ITV on behalf of the duchess."

The United Kingdom's Office of Communications previously said it had received over 41,000 complaints about Morgan's comments and would be investigating the show, NBC News reports. With more than 41,000 complaints, Monday's Good Morning Britain was the "most complained about show on British television in nearly 15 years," according to Deadline. On Tuesday, ITV announced Morgan would be leaving Good Morning Britain permanently, just hours after he stormed off the set when a cohost confronted him over his comments about Meghan.
But Morgan has been doubling down since leaving the show, tweeting that "I still don't" believe Meghan and telling Sky News, "I think it's fair to say, although the woke crowd will think that they've cancelled me, I think they will be rather disappointed when I re-emerge."
