Hillary Clinton defends Meghan Markle in her battle against UK media

Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry have found a new supporter in Hillary Clinton at the time of their fight against British tabloids. The former First Lady of the US on October 13, during an interview with foreign news publication, defended the decision of the couple to fight a legal battle against the British news organization 'The Mail'. The couple's decision came after the publication published a confidential letter that Meghan had sent to her estranged father Thomas. While defending the two, Hillary said that the way Meghan is being treated is unexplainable.

Hillary and her daughter defend Meghan

During the interview, the journalist asked the former US Presidential candidate if she feels the reason behind the treatment against Meghan is racism, to which she confirmed saying it is a part of it. Hillary said that if the reason behind it is Meghan being biracial then it is a shame on all.  She also said that she is a huge Meghan fan and believes that she is a woman of guts. Hillary's daughter Chelsea Clinton also joined her for the interview where the Duchess of Sussex was discussed. Chelsea said that she also thinks the reason is that she had a career first and continues to have a voice. The 39-year-old daughter of Clinton said that anybody who breaks the conventional style is bound to receive criticism which is what she doesn't understand. She then added that even though she doesn't know her personally but as somebody who respects her, she feels great that the actress is doing what she wishes to and is not willing to be bullied. A few weeks ago, Hillary posted a picture of Meghan Markle where she wrote that she is inspired by her the way she is representing the US and UK in the world.
