Piers Morgan should 'leave Meghan and Harry alone' says expert
Mental Health Awareness Week kicks off today, with many raising awareness for the campaign across social media platforms. Piers Morgan, 56, took to his Twitter page to share a quote he said he finds “helpful” when times are "tough". In view of his 7.9 million followers, he shared a line from the film Rocky, created by Sylvester Stallone.
It read: “Going in one more round when you don’t think you can - that’s what makes all the difference in life.”
He captioned the post: “To mark #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, a quote I've always found helpful in tough times.”
One Twitter user replied: “So now you believe in mental health?
“You thought it was all made up when Meghan Markle mentioned she struggled with hers. B****nd.”

Hitting back, the former Good Morning Britain replied: “I believe in mental illness, I just don't believe Meghan Markle.
“PS Please don't call me ‘B****nd' - it's bad for my mental health.”
Piers had previously said he didn’t believe a word Prince Harry’s wife said in her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The Duchess of Sussex spoke in detail about her time in the Royal Family, with no question off limits.
During the interview, she said she felt suicidal and feared being left alone.
Meghan also claimed an unnamed member of the family raised concerns about the colour of their son Archie’s skin.
Piers sparked over 57,000 Ofcom complaints for his comments on Good Morning Britain about the Royal.
He has since left the show after five years, claiming he had to “agree to disagree” with ITV about his departure.

The father-of-three later took to Instagram to tell fans his exit came after he refused to apologise for his comments.
“A little note to all my followers,” he began in view of his 1.5 million followers.
“It has been an extraordinary week for me, for Britain, for our monarchy and for our future.
“Those of you that know me well enough know that, despite my many faults,” he added. “I’m always willing to stand my ground for the things that I think matter most.”
Piers went on to reflect on jobs he had lost for, he claims, standing up for what he believes in.
He then added: “I’ve lost my job at Good Morning Britain because I chose not to apologise for disbelieving Meghan Markle’s claims in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.”
The controversial journalist continued to say he had become the “latest ‘victim’ of the cancel culture that is permeating our country, every minute, of every hour, of everyday”.
