The stars showed their support for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, after the bomb, an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey broadcast on CBS on Sunday. It was the first she and her husband, Prince Harry, had granted since they left their official royal duties last year.
Harry and Meghan spent a lot of time sharing their share of many of the tabloid stories that have circulated about them since they reunited.
When Oprah asked Meghan if she was worried about how the royal family would react to the interview, the duchess replied: “I don’t know how one would expect us to remain silent after all this time only if there is an active role. which “The Firm” plays in perpetuating lies about us. And when it comes to the risk of losing things, I mean, there are many that have already been lost. “
Meghan and Harry expressed their opinions about the drama behind their royal outing and questions arose about “how dark” their baby’s skin tone would be. Meghan also talked about suicidal thoughts, and she and Harry shared their views on how they were treated by members of the royal family.
After the interview, tennis legend Serena Williams sent a message of support to the Duchess of Sussex on Twitter, saying: “Meghan Markle, my altruistic friend, lives her life – and leads by example – with empathy and compassion. She teaches me every day what it means to be truly noble. Her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she experienced. “
Other celebrities, activists and animators such as Jada Pinkett Smith, Leslie Jordan and Bernice King were moved to speak, supporting the couple. Some have even created jokes about the monarchy.
Meghan also received support from celebrities such as Gabrielle Union, Chance the Rapper and Halle Berry, who came to defend her on Thursday against allegations of intimidation.
The British newspaper The Times reported that Meghan is facing charges of intimidating the staff of the royal household during her time at Kensington Palace. The palace says it will investigate the allegations, but a spokesman for Meghan and Harry called them “a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation.”
