Outspoken broadcaster Piers Morgan has unleashed a furious tirade against the BBC, condemning their coverage of Princess Kate's cancer announcement as "pathetic" and "disgraceful".
The former Good Morning Britain host didn't mince words as he slammed the national broadcaster for what he perceived as intrusive reporting on the Princess of Wales's personal health battle.
'A New Low for BBC Journalism'
Morgan took particular issue with the BBC's decision to send a reporter to the Windsor area following Kate's emotional video message about her preventative chemotherapy treatment.
"Sending reporters to stalk around Windsor trying to doorstop people about Kate's cancer diagnosis is a new low," Morgan fumed on social media.
Public Backlash Against Media Coverage
The controversial commentator's outburst comes amid growing public anger about media intrusion into the royal family's private health matters. Many social media users have expressed support for Morgan's stance, with some calling for more respectful reporting during such sensitive times.
Morgan, known for his no-holds-barred opinions, doubled down on his criticism: "The BBC should be ashamed of themselves. This isn't journalism - it's vulture behaviour at its worst."
Broader Debate About Royal Reporting
The row has reignited debates about appropriate boundaries when reporting on royal health matters. Palace officials have previously urged media outlets to show restraint, particularly when covering personal medical issues affecting the family.
As the dust settles on this latest media storm, questions remain about whether broadcasters will adjust their approach to covering sensitive royal health announcements in future.
