Despite her feelings for Markle, Frankel said she sympathized with Prince Harry.
“I give Harry 100% rest. This is not the way to generate less press and cannot be archived under the pretext of wanting privacy to avoid a repetition of previous events,” said Frankel, who defended his right to share his opinion. folks adding, “If you hate me for saying that, don’t listen to my podcast … it’s full of my opinion.”
In a follow-up tweet that didn’t mention Markle directly. Frankel explained that people who are asking for a spotlight should have to deal with its effects.
“I chose reality shows to work to earn money, to be examined and criticized. I took the traps and the beatings with her. It is a rose with petals and thorns, ”she said. “People beg to enter the often toxic institution I signed up for. That was the life I chose. You can’t be stupid and smart.”

Although Frankel’s tweets have received a reaction, she is not the only celebrity to talk about Markle’s situation. Former Fox News and NBC host Megyn Kelly tweeted on Friday that Markle “plays the victim”.
It’s so hard to be royalty, to live in a castle, to have a huge team and all your needs taken care of by British taxpayers, just to throw everything for hundreds of millions in the US to (do what exactly?) And live in a Mansion of $ 14 million. My heart is saddened by them! https://t.co/qAQihgMAM6

Okay, that’s why most of us wouldn’t have given up on our country, family, work and religion just to marry a prince. Now, all she does is play victim bc – poor girl – she was not allowed to control her access to the media while living in the Queen’s palaces. The horror! https://t.co/lH9wT36hDW

Piers Morgan also joined to beat Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, calling Sunday’s interview was a “crybaby”.
But several big names supported Markle. Earlier this week, Chrissy Teigen expressed her fear that constant criticism of Markle could negatively affect her pregnancy.
“This shit from Meghan Markle is too close to home for me,” said Teigen in a tweet. “These people are not going to stop until she aborts. F ****** stop it.”
Teigen was not alone. Stars like Jameela Jamil, Gabrielle Union, Halle Berry and Chance the Rapper also spoke in support of Markle.
So let me see if I understand. The palace was fine with all Meghan’s “bullies” for years and years, even a few days before they feared she would publicly denounce them. It looks like a legitimate claim. Maybe Andrew didn’t go to Pedo’s island with Epstein, maybe he was MEGHAN DRESSED LIKE HIM!

The ex-markle Suits co-star Patrick J. Adams also posted a topic in his defense, citing the “racist, slanderous and addictive vitriol spat at him”.
Meghan Markle and I spent most of a decade working on Suits together. From the first day she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, generous, cheerful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague according to the accumulated fame, prestige and power.

In a clip from Sunday’s interview, Markle expressed how pleased she is to be able to openly discuss the relentless scrutiny she received when she became the Duchess of Sussex.
“So, as an adult who lived a really independent life to enter this construction that is different from what I think people imagine, it is really liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege in some ways to be able to say: Yes , I’m ready to talk, “she said.
