Piers Morgan has admitted he took things 'a bit too far' when criticising Meghan Markle.
The Good Morning Britain presenter confessed it wasn't 'wise' of him to make things 'too personal' when discussing the Duchess of Sussex.
It comes after he accused her of ' ditching ' her own relatives and splitting her husband from the royal family.
He also claimed she behaved more like a member of the reality TV family the Kardashians "not somebody who married into the royal family".
But now he blames 'boredom' for bringing out 'the worst ' in him as a journalist.
After reflecting on his words the famous broadcaster said he plans to change they way he addresses Ms Markle.
Commenting on his previous comments about the duchess, he said: " Have I taken things a bit too far? Probably.
"Do I think that will govern and temper how I talk about them going forward? Absolutely."
He added that he is at his "best as a journalist on stuff that really matters ".
"It's the stuff that is substantial, particularly when people's lives are at stake, that seems to galvanise my personality into the best possible place," he said.
"And it's times of relative peace, calm, quiet and dare I say boredom that might occasionally bring out the worst in me.
"Having squabbles with people who are never going to change their mind in a million years about stuff that no longer seems remotely important."
Morgan was a regular critic of Meghan and her husband after they announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior royals.
In January, he tweeted: "People say I'm too critical of Meghan Markle - but she ditched her family, ditched her Dad, ditched most of her old friends, split Harry from William and has now split him from the Royal Family.
"I rest my case."
