Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan took to social media today to clarify why he doesn’t use his biological father’s surname. The 55-year-old TV star explained to a Twitter user that his dad died when he was a very young child, so he took his step-father’s name when he married Piers’ mum.
The troll made the comment after Piers shared his views following a Prince Harry and Meghan Markle update this morning.
“At least Meghan Markle carries her father’s name,” the post, which has since been deleted, began.
“Piers Morgan is Piers O’Meara, yet he’s got the nerve to talking about someone ‘ghosting’ their father. Really?”
Father-of-four Piers was quick to hit back to address the matter.

Earlier today, Piers and his GMB co-star discussed Harry and Meghan’s upcoming chat with Oprah Winfrey and the prince’s appearance on James Corden’s chat show.
Prince Harry joined The Late Late Show host on the top of a double-decker bus for afternoon tea, during a tour of Los Angeles.
The Duke of Sussex opened up about his son Archie and his family life during the interview, however Piers dubbed it “embarrassing”.
“Fantastic scoop for James and his team, a whole world talking about it,” he told viewers.
