His stance on Markle has been heavily criticised, especially by younger people on social media. Told by his bosses at ITV to apologise, he quit. Morgan noisily refuses to believe her claims of feeling suicidal over race-baiting reporting by British tabloids or accept that he has contributed to the British media's racist campaign against her. That job ended last week when he stormed off set following an angry exchange with his weather anchor, Alex Beresford, who objected to Morgan's long-running campaign "to trash" Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex. Months after the Gatsby party, Morgan was re-established on television as co-host of Good Morning Britain, successfully taking on the BBC with his opinionated, self-aggrandising presenting style.

In Morgan's indoor pool synchronized swimmers performed an homage to Busby Berkeley, while a tuba player blew fire from his instrument. They brought wine as gifts and Rupert Murdoch, one of Morgan's mentors, sent a case from his personal vineyard. Female guests came as flappers and men wore tuxedos or blazers. There was caviar, lobster, truffles and endless cocktails, served by waiters in period costume. In the summer of 2015, shortly after his 50th birthday, Piers Morgan held a party of breathtaking extravagance for 300 guests in the grounds of his country home, close to the village where he grew up in East Sussex, south of London.
