How these people aren’t in jail I will never know. If they was poor they would be locked up and sued into oblivion but when you’re rich and a big media corporation it gives you the free pass to do what you please.

[@PassiveAgressive319]

All this because Meghan didn’t return his calls after she met Harry….how friggin desperate and petty is that?

[@valeriemahabir7997]

The phone hacking took place before Meghan appeared on the scene. Some people speculate that after her first meeting with Piers, she might have been advised to avoid him.

[@lovem7635]

He was on camera recorded

[@paulbell8653]

What Morgan admits by his carefully worded denial is that that he knew it was happening and by doing nothing to stop it in his position as editor, condoned it, making himself culpable. He then allowed his staff members to be prosecuted which says all you need to know about this man.

[@nutcracker2916]

It has faced worse in its thousand-year existence. Charles and William, who currently represent the institution, might need some help. George could become king before he least expects it.

[@valiasa-di6hr]

@valeriemahabir7997 I don't know about the monarchy but the RF is narcissistic - they directly supported all this on the first place to gaslight and harass Meghan and Harry.

[@tussk.]

It's shocking to learn that this was still going on during the NOTW trial, and even after then. Morgan has repeatedly used his position to attack anybody who upsets or disagrees with him, even royalty, and it's way past time that he was held to account. He used the threat of bad press as both a sword and a shield, but now they've been turned on him. I hope he goes to prison.

Would love to know what Queen Consort Camilla, thinks about all this as she's allegedly friends with Morgan ? I'm not a fan of Meghan, but I think it's understandable that she ghosted him.

Why would anyone who is a former friend at a blink in the eye begin a personal vendetta towards this " friend " with so much venom& rage & use his workplace - media ,TV and radio to destroy this so called ex friend A middle aged man piers is beside himself that a much younger women to him chose to distance herself from him ! His obsessive hounding including seeking high & low for her father to create more misery & drama .What unpleasant soul does these things & continues to operates in such rage trying to deflect from the hacking disgraces to his fake deference to the RF & monarchy?

The judge said that he was welcome to the stand, they were expecting for him to show up that he could have been on the stand BUT that Piers Morgan simply didn't went to court to take this opportunity and refute the claims, you know give his testimony, submit to cross examination.. Now we have to wait when they are gonna be subpoena. He is guilty there's an audio of him incriminating himself,telling others how to hack a phone. He has friends in high places Rupert Murdoch, Camilla, so unfortunately he probably won't face the consequences he should face.
