Piers Morgan, the first victim of Henry of England and Meghan Markle

Piers Morgan (Surrey, UK, 55) uses journalism to promote Piers Morgan.

And in that, it has no equal.

It is the face that all Brits think of when they imagine that fierce, creeping and inhumane press that Meghan Markle has declared war on.

So convinced was he that the task of unmasking the Duchess of Sussex fell to him alone, which he has devoted himself to for years from his position as host of

(GMB) on the ITV chain, which last Monday went under braking.

I had just seen Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with American journalist Oprah Winfrey.

"Two hours of garbage against the royal family, to destroy all the work done by the queen during these years and present the royal house as a group of white supremacists with their accusations of racism," Morgan attacked the couple.

The next day, when she reaffirmed that “she did not believe a single word that came out of Markle's mouth” —not even her state of mental health, which according to her had led her to entertain the idea of ​​suicide— she ran into the last of your shoe.

Alex Beresford, who started his ITV career as a weatherman and appears occasionally as Morgan's co-host or as a reporter on the morning show, couldn't contain himself and left his partner with the word on his mouth.

“I understand that you don't like Meghan Markle.

You've already taken it upon yourself to tell us.

You had a personal relationship with her and it was she who decided to cut it off.

It was his right.

You've torn her to pieces all this time without her saying a word about you.

It is a diabolical behavior ”, accused Beresford.

Morgan couldn't bear the taste of his own medicine and stormed off the set.

For a while.

He was back in no time to continue his monologue-diatribe.

The following day, after receiving 41,000 complaints from viewers, ITV management reported that Morgan was stopping presenting the show whose audience he had helped build with his personality, histrionics and popularity.

Twenty-four hours later, he was at his doorstep to respond to journalists and present himself as the champion of freedom of expression in the UK.

Delighted to be the news once again.

Like when he began launching his professional career under the tutelage of Kelvin MacKenzie, the legendary editor of the tabloid

who raised yellow journalism to unprecedented levels of lewdness and savagery, and sold millions of copies.

He put him in charge of Bizarre, the section of the newspaper dedicated to celebrity gossip.

The Sussex boy raised in a pub - he got up at five in the morning to refill his bottles before going to school - who aspired to be something great found a playground all to himself.

Only that terrain between journalism, entertainment and the charade that are the British tabloids explains why Morgan hired a stunt double and announced that Madonna had come to visit him in the newsroom, apologized for "discovering" the montage, and then announced that he had been all a joke.

Triple news, and readers loved it.

The media mogul, Rupert Murdoch, quickly caught his eye and offered him the address of the

.

From his eagerness to take the sensationalism to new heights, scandals arose such as the romance of the Spanish Bienvenida Pérez with the Chief of Defense Staff, Peter Harding;

or the catching of the actor Hugh Grant with the prostitute Divine Brown "in a lewd attitude" in a public space in Los Angeles.

Morgan doesn't know where the limit is.

It is part of your success.

The publication of photos of former model Victoria Aitken, then Lady Spencer (married to the Earl of Spencer, Lady Di's younger brother), in the middle of treatment for an eating disorder, ended up causing her dismissal from the newspaper's management.

To Murdoch's chagrin, he had made a lot of money from it.

From firing to firing, Morgan has built a personality with supporters and detractors, but one that, like a drunken street fight, is irresistible to behold.

He came out of the address of the

when he fell into the trap of publishing false images of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners in 2004. Before, he had triumphed with the photo of a Lady Di in a living tear overwhelmed by the paparazzi, or with that of the model Naomi Campbell quietly leaving a drug rehab center.

His popularity knew no borders, and he came to replace the irreplaceable Larry King on his CNN talk show.

It lasted three years, with an audience in freefall.

Journalism with the appearance of respectability was not his thing, although he was able to establish interesting contacts.

And befriend Donald Trump, with whom he conducted a pointless interview years later that bordered on hagiography.

“I have ordered a new Air Force One [the mammoth presidential plane] built.

No other president had had the courage to do something like this, "Trump told his ecstatic English friend.

They both shared a personal mania for Meghan Markle.

So far, both have been hurt.

Although if Trump's return is not at all clear, all bets suggest that Morgan's will come soon.
