The royal couple have been hit with criticism this week for reportedly taking four private flights in under two weeks.
Jameela is not the only person to speak out in support of the royal couple, with Pink, Ellen DeGeneres and Sir Elton John all voicing their feelings.
Pink wrote: “I’m happy to see people coming to the defense of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“The way people treat her is the most public form of bullying I have seen in a while. It’s out of control.
“Let’s all be a bit kinder, huh? Let’s show our children that it’s cool to be kind.”
Talk show host Ellen praised the royal couple for their “down-to-earth” and “compassionate” nature.
