Meghan Markle's best friend says Duchess of Sussex is a 'glorious human' despite 'painful' nasty headlines

foxnews.com:

Meghan Markle has plenty of support in her corner. Weeks after a scathing Vanity Fair report not only described the Duchess of Sussex as "cold and withholding" to her staffers, but dubbed her and Prince Harry as the "local villains" of their ritzy Montecito neighborhood, actress Abigail Spencer, who has been close friends with Markle since their reign on "Suits" in 2011, said that the negative press can sometimes be difficult to read for those closest to the mom of two. "It’s very painful as a friend," she told Page Six at an American Heart Association event in New York City on Thursday. "But she is the most glorious human being on the planet, and so we just have to get behind her and support her." Markle is no stranger to negative press.

Last month, the Duchess caught heat for postponing her new Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," amid the LA wildfires. "It would have been wrong to launch her new show while the wildfires continue to rage through L.A.," royal photographer Helena Chard recently told Fox News Digital. "I have to say it’s a first, her giving some thought to the release date of her series.

She usually releases her work at the most inappropriate time, to the dismay and wrath of the general public." "The public have understandably constantly berated her for being tone-deaf.

She is hoping the public see her in a new light as a caring, helpful and kind person, thus changing their current perception of her." Spencer said Markle's new show will highlight the person she actually is.
