Bye Bye Piers

 Piers Morgan was the co-host of Good Morning Britain and one of Meghan Markle's most vocal critics. He ripped her after the Oprah interview, saying he didn't believe the palace had denied mental health therapy, and he didn't believe she contemplated suicide.

When Piers got heat for the heat he was throwing Megan's way, he did exactly what you'd expect this Trump-loving snowflake to do: He had a hissy fit, stormed off the set, and quit.

From the New York Times...

Mr. Morgan’s vociferous criticism of Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, who Mr. Morgan said had orchestrated a “two-hour trash-a-thon of our royal family” in their interview, drew more than 41,000 complaints to Ofcom, Britain’s communications regulatory authority. The agency announced on Tuesday that it had opened an investigation into Mr. Morgan’s comments under its “harm and offence” rules.

Then, on Tuesday’s broadcast of “Good Morning Britain,” the strife came to a head when another co-host, Alex Beresford, admonished Mr. Morgan for his frequent sniping at Meghan. Mr. Beresford told Mr. Morgan that he had an ax to grind with Meghan because he previously had a rapport with her and she “cut you off.”

“She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to,” Mr. Beresford said. “Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has, but yet you continue to trash her.”

Mr. Morgan then got up from his anchor chair and walked off the set.

“OK, I’m done with this,” Mr. Morgan said.

The two hosts engaged in cross-talk as he was walking away, with Mr. Beresford saying: “Do you know what? That’s pathetic.”
