"ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add," the statement said.
Earlier Tuesday morning, Morgan walked off the set of Good Morning Britain after co-host Alex Beresford defended Harry and Meghan following their interview with Oprah.
Morgan had been hyper-critical of the couple both on the program and on Twitter.
