Piers Morgan was "entitled to say he disbelieved" the string of allegations the came to light in Meghan Markle's Oprah interview, Ofcom has ruled.
The media regulator has now cleared ITV, the British network that airs Good Morning Britain, after the daytime show received a record number of complaints about former host Piers Morgan, BBC News reports.
The complaints had been in response to the 56-year-old presenter casting doubt on the Duchess of Sussex's account of life in the Royal Family in a tell-all chat with Oprah Winfrey.
The explosive interview in March had seen the 40-year-old former actress say that she had experienced suicidal ideations and allege that a member of the Royal Family had conversations about "how dark" Archie's skin might be.
Morgan's commentary on the interview had received a staggering 58,000 complaints, including one by Meghan herself, the outlet reports.
Ofcom concluded its report: "The interview between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Oprah Winfrey contained serious allegations and it was legitimate for this program to discuss and scrutinize those claims including their veracity.
"Ofcom is clear that, consistent with freedom of expression, Mr. Morgan was entitled to say he disbelieved the Duke and Duchess’s allegations and to hold and express strong views that rigorously challenged their account."
It continued: "The Code allows for individuals to express strongly held and robustly argued views, including those that are potentially harmful or highly offensive, and for broadcasters to include these in their programming.
"The restriction of such views would, in our view, be an unwarranted and chilling restriction on freedom of expression both of the broadcaster and the audience."
The regulator maintained, however, that Morgan's comments during the infamous GMB episode, which saw him storm off while on the air, showed an "apparent disregard" for the very serious topic of suicide.
The day after the interview, Morgan insisted on the breakfast show that he did not "believe a word she said", before storming off when he clashed with weather presenter Alex Beresford over his unsympathetic stance on the matter.
Ultimately, though, Ofcom referred to its ruling that Morgan was entitled to his views as a "finely-balanced decision", which the controversial commentator said he was "delighted" by.
