Meghan Markle has been facing increasing criticism since marrying into the Royal Family in May 2018. Royal commentators cited clashes with members of the royal household struggling to cope with the demands of the Duchess of Sussex as the main reason for the complaints. But reality TV star Nicola McLean claimed the public has been targeting Meghan and husband Prince Harry.

“It’s a bit of a weird one but I think he really respects her. He thinks she has managed to deal with it well.

“He has had his fair share of bad press in the past, a lot of crisis in his life, so I think he’s trying to get her to navigate the choppy waters of joining the Royal Family.

“That sort of bonding between them is really nice to see because she hasn’t had it easy, has she?”

The Duchess and the Prince of Wales were seen to have a friendly relationship when Charles stepped up to walk the former American actress down the aisle as she married his son Prince Harry in May 2018.

The first-in-line to the throne was forced to take on the temporary role of father of the bride after Meghan’s dad Thomas Markle bailed on the ceremony last minute due to a pact he allegedly struck with paparazzi to have some pictures taken before the royal wedding.
