During a recent event hosted by Glamour magazine, Lily Allen was asked to name her "woman of the year." Without hesitation, she singled out Meghan Markle, commending the former actress for her remarkable resilience in the face of relentless criticism from the British press.
"Who's my woman of the year? Umm, Meghan Markle. She just is one big middle finger to the British press in particular," Allen remarked, making her admiration for the Duchess of Sussex abundantly clear.
Meghan Markle's tumultuous relationship with the British press has been widely documented. The invasive coverage reached a breaking point in October 2019 when she decided to take legal action against The Mail on Sunday. This move came after the publication disclosed a personal letter she had penned to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, during a particularly challenging period in their relationship. Meghan's legal battle eventually culminated in victory in December 2021.
However, the toll of media scrutiny extended beyond legal battles. Prince Harry alluded to the severe mental and physical stress that Meghan endured due to the relentless media attention. Tragically, this stress is believed to have contributed to a miscarriage Meghan experienced in July 2020, shedding light on the profound challenges faced by the couple in their quest for privacy and a life outside the royal spotlight.
