The Good Morning Britain presenter, 54, came under fire yesterday after he admitted to being less than thrilled by the royal baby news on Twitter. Writing in his new column for the Daily Mail, Piers Morgan explained how he had been told off for his “snarky” remarks by his own mother. “I’d just posted a snarky ‘Trying but currently failing, to muster up a semblance enthusiasm for this royal baby’ tweet yesterday afternoon when I received an urgent text message for my mother,” the surprisingly contrite broadcaster said. “‘Think back to how you felt when your little lot were born,’ she wrote. ‘You don’t want people ruining it.’
“Of course, she was right, as mothers usually are,” Piers continued, seeming keen to retract his previous comments.
“It was needlessly churlish of me to express such public disinterest in the birth of Meghan and Harry’s son.
“I may not be a great personal fan of my former friend the Duchess of Sussex, for reasons I’ve discussed too many times now, but the birth of any baby should always be a time for celebration,” he added.
The Good Morning Britain star backtracked after posting a sarcastic tweet about the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son.
Trying, but currently failing, to muster up a semblance of enthusiasm for this royal baby story before tomorrow’s @GMB,” he told his 6.6 million followers.
“Hopefully Meghan will announce her son is identifying as a gender-fluid vegan before we go on air,” he quipped.
