As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace," said the executives of the show.
It added: "We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts."
It concluded: "Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers."
Meghan and Harry made some shocking revelations about the Royal Family in their chat with the US TV host.
