One of Meghan Markle’s best friends, pilates instructor Heather Dorak, has taken to social media in defense of the Duchess in light of the increase in tabloid scrutiny she has been facing in front of her and Prince Harry’s full interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“I find it hard to see her go through everything she has, because the press likes to hate the press,” Dorak began in the Instagram post. “Especially because I know so far from Meghan that I know. Sweet. Kind. Always appearing! Two weeks ago she was the first to surprise me with a gift after my surgery. 17 years ago, he entered my fledgling Pilates studio and instantly became my rock in all the early 20s things: career, love, discovering how to be an adult. Since that day, it has never ceased to be one of my brightest light sources.
She continued, “It can be hard to see, but you live off the little, thoughtful things: flowers for no reason, a sweet, handwritten note at random. It’s always been really wonderful … M, I love you.”
Dorak’s feelings echo those of model Chrissy Teigen, who also came to Markle’s defense, suggesting that the negative attention she is receiving could have dire consequences for the pregnant public figure.
“This Meghan Markle is very close to home for me” Teigen tweeted on Friday. “These people won’t stop until they have a miscarriage. F – king stops it.”
Buckingham Palace announced its intention to investigate allegations of intimidation made against Markle by a former staff member, even when other people from Markle’s past have come to his defense.
Pauline Maclaran, author of “The Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture,” said this week that the Duke and Duchess’s upcoming CBS special is “a greater danger than the traffic accident interview.” of Prince Andrew “
“I think Meghan will get a lot of sympathy, especially from the American public, for her position to be unsustainable,” Maclaran said.
