“From day one she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family.
“It sickened me to read the endless racist, slanderous, clickbaiting vitriol spewed in her direction from all manner of media across the UK…
“…and the world but I also knew that Meghan was stronger than people realized or understood and they would regret underestimating her.”
He also said: “It’s OBSCENE that the Royal Family, whose newest member is currently GROWING INSIDE OF HER…
“…is promoting and amplifying accusations of ‘bullying’ against a woman who herself was basically forced to flee the UK in order to protect her family and her own mental health.”
Actually, what's 'OBSCENE' is your friend trashing her husband's family on global TV as the Queen's 99-yr-old husband lies in hospital. How dare you attack our Royal Family like this, you jumped-up little twerp. https://t.co/pYUuCLje3w
