Alex Beresford, the weather man who called out Piers Morgan on his racist vitriol against Meghan Markle, is speaking out now that Morgan has left Good Morning Britain, saying in a statement:

UPDATE: Morgan, one of the most inexplicably powerful and influential figures in the UK media, has quit in the aftermath of the controversy surrounding his remarks about Markle.

Piers Morgan, one of the most loud-mouthed bullies in the media — one with axes to grind against a slew of public figures, often women — could not sit and listen to one dressing-down on Good Morning Britian by co-worker Alex Beresford.

Beresford took Morgan to task for his venom against Markle, pointing out that Markle and Morgan had previously been in contact, and that she had cut him off. This reminded me immediately of the fact that Morgan, whose hatred of Madonna is legendary and oft-repeated, seemed to be most incensed by the fact that Madonna had ignored him. There is a huge ego at play there, and one that has been given far too much oxygen in the media.

Not-so-majestic commentator (Image via video still)

Amazing! Josh Pieters and Archie Manners, pranksters based in the UK, set up a slate of self-professed royals experts to comment on the big Meghan Markle/Prince Harry interview ... when none of them had ever seen it.

“In the interview, to my mind, this was an actress giving one of her great performances. From start to finish, Meghan. Was. Acting,” says EIC of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward — who was, as it turns out, acting as if she had seen the interview. She even characterized the interview.

Victoria Arbiter, who actually works for CNN as a royal commentator, also fell into the trap, noting that Oprah had asked tough but sympathetic questions.

One of the commentators used to work for the Queen!

None of these people should ever be used as an expert on the royals again, and certainly the EIC of Majesty should be fired immediately.

I found Meghan Markle to be remarkably empathetic and forthright and modern in her explosive sit-down with Oprah Winfrey. The seasoned interviewer seemed, at times, gobsmacked by what Meghan and Harry were telling her, including:

√ Markle was, at five months pregnant, suicidal — and disallowed by the Palace from seeking treatment.

√ Contrary to tabloid reports, Meghan never made Kate Middleton cry, but Kate did make Meghan cry. (For which she apologized and was forgiven.)

√ The only reason the couple could afford to leave the royals was the money bequeathed to Harry by his late mom, Princess Diana, who he said he believed would have supported him were she alive today.
