Former US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton has expressed belief that Meaghan Markle is being targetted by British tabloids because of racism.
Clinton made this known during the interview with The Sunday Times of London.
“I do want to say that the way she’s been treated is inexplicable.”
Hillary pointed out that race is “certainly part of it.”
“If the explanation is that she’s biracial, then shame on everybody,” Clinton added.
Clinton’s daughter Chelsea also added her voice when asked to speak on the issue.
“She proudly had a career first and has a voice that she thankfully continues to use,” Chelsea said when asked about the Royal family’s decision to sue multiple tabloids.
“Anyone who has the temerity to break the mold of what has previously been established and expected often, unfortunately, receives criticism and bile that I don’t understand,” Chelsea added.
Recall that Prince Harry shared an open letter which condemned tabloids for their attack on Meaghan Markle. He also threatened to press charges against them.
“Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences – a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son,” he wrote in the statement.
He continued: “There is a human cost to this relentless propaganda, specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious, and though we have continued to put on a brave face – as so many of you can relate to – I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been. Because in today’s digital age, press fabrications are repurposed as truth across the globe. One day’s coverage is no longer tomorrow’s chip-paper.”
