Meghan Markle's surprising action prompts Piers Morgan's grateful expression
Piers Morgan, the outspoken British television personality, has recently given a sarcastic "thank you" to Meghan Markle for contributing to his success on YouTube. In a series of podcast and YouTube appearances, Morgan acknowledged that his ongoing focus on Markle keeps him relevant and attracts attention, even as her own projects face challenges.
Morgan's departure from Good Morning Britain in 2021 paved the way for his presence on YouTube. Since then, he has been vocal about his critiques and debates regarding Markle, a strategy that has proven effective in boosting his media profile.
In a recent interview on BBC Newsnight, Morgan discussed his reasons for maintaining Markle as a topic on his platform. He described it as a strategic move that keeps his content engaging and his profile high, effectively thanking Meghan in a sarcastic tone for inadvertently aiding his media success by being a central figure in his commentary.
The interview focused on Morgan's career and success since leaving ITV. Morgan also attributed some of his success to the backlash he received from Markle in 2021, which he suggested has helped fuel his YouTube presence.
The comment was accompanied by laughing face emojis and was shared on Morgan's official social media handle, along with a photo of him making the comment. The report about Morgan's interview on BBC Newsnight was published by the Daily Express.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have experienced a decline in popularity and setbacks with major deals like their Netflix contract not likely to be renewed. While Markle's lifestyle brand "As Ever" has had some product sell-outs, other projects such as her cookery series "With Love, Meghan" suffered poor ratings, and the overall public interest in the couple has diminished.
In this climate, Morgan has capitalized on public interest around Markle by prominently featuring his criticisms and debates about her on shows and platforms, including his YouTube content.
