The British journalist and presenter accused Meghan of lying during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying that he did not quote, believe a word, she said.

In Sunday's bombshell interview, Megan accused the royal family of pushing her to the brink of suicide.

She also alleged that someone in the royal household had raised questions about the color of her son's skin.

In a series of tweets Morgan dubbed Megan Pinocchio Princess and accused the royal couple of betraying the queen.

Morgan's comments on his show triggered more than 41,000 complaints to Britain's media regulator, Ofcom, which announced an investigation under its harm and offense rules.

Carolyn McCall, the ITV chief executive, pointedly declined to back the presenter, saying that she believed the duchess completely.

In a terse statement released on Tuesday, the broadcaster confirmed Morgan's departure.

Morgan joined ITV six years ago and brought with him his no holds barred interview technique.
