The surprising royal who came to the defence of Meghan Markle
From her estranged family speaking out against her, to facing a lot of unwarranted public scrutiny – it’s safe to say Meghan Markle hasn’t had the smoothest ride since marrying into the royal family.
An unlikely royal has come to the defence of the Duchess of Sussex, stating that “no one deserves” to be treated the way the 37-year-old has.
Princess Tessy of Luxembourg – estranged wife of Prince Louis of Luxembourg – spoke out in defence of Meghan on social media.
Responding in agreement to an article supporting Meghan, Tessy declared that “one should never assume” what’s going on with another person.
“Either you know or be [quiet],” she said. “It’s not nice to talk badly about someone else just because you can, as he or she takes advantage of the anonymity of the web.”
She also encouraged people to “stay kind”.
Absolutely! No one deserves that. One should never assume. Either you know or be quite 🦋it’s not nice to talk badly about someone else just because one can, as he or she takes advantage of the anonymity of the web. Stay Kind!!! 😊it’s the new cool! She does not deserve that.

Family drama
The latest round of drama Meghan has been forced to face has been with her estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., and estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle.
Last week, five unnamed people from Meghan’s inner-circle opened up, wanting to “speak the truth” about the 37-year-old, after months of negative press and attacks on social media.
They mentioned a five-page letter she wrote to her father, Thomas Markle Sr.
The man himself then handed said letter to The Mail on Sunday to publish, revealing that the Duchess had begged him to stop exploiting their relationship in the press (a plea he has obviously ignored).
In the letter, Meghan also labelled her half-sister Samantha Markle as Thomas’ “other daughter” and someone who she “barely knows”, which prompted Samantha to retaliate.
The 54-year-old branded the Duchess a “narcissist” on Twitter, while also encouraging people to purchase her upcoming book about the royal.
Meghan’s friends come to her defence
In the interviews with PEOPLE magazine, Meghan’s friends also expressed their concerns for her and revealed they want to “stand up against the global bullying we are seeing”.
“Meg has silently sat back and endured the lies and untruths,” one former co-star said.
They also expressed their concerns for Meghan and her unborn baby.
“We worry about what this is doing to her and the baby,” the source continued. “It’s wrong to put anyone under this level of emotional trauma, let alone when they’re pregnant.”
