The much-anticipated two-hour interview of Oprah Winfrey with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, which was released on CBS, has garnered nearly 20 million viewers—with the couple delivering bombshell revelations about their experience with the Royal Family—from Markle’s suicidal thoughts and being denied help, to members of the family having “concerns” about the color of Archie’s skin.
Following the interview, various celebrities have expressed support for the couple, specifically the actress.
Here are some of the famous celebrities who have rallied behind the Royal couple:

We can know racism exists in an institution and still hurt for someone who was hurt by it. #MeghanMarkle

IMO, this newest chapter and it’s timing is just another stunning example of the shamelessness of a institution that has outlived its relevance, is way overdrawn on credibility and apparently bankrupt of decency.

I recommend … Meghan & Harry’s courageous interview w @Oprah When someone’s brave enough to ask for help, we must listen. I sit on the board of @Gotcha_4_Life – an organization dedicated to mental fitness. They can help. You are not alone. #HarryandMeghan #archewellfoundation pic.twitter.com/vicpT6vFD4

10. Hillary Clinton
During a live event with the Washington Post, Clinton said: “It was heartbreaking to see the two of them sitting there having to describe how difficult it was to be accepted, to be integrated. Not just into the royal family as they described, but more painfully into the larger society whose narrative is driven by tabloids that are living in the past. I’ve had my time in the box with the British tabloids, as anybody who is in the public eye has had, and their cruelty in going after Meghan was just outrageous. The fact she did not get more support, that the reaction was, you know, ‘let’s just paper it over and pretend it didn’t happen or it will go away, just keep your head down.’ Well, this young woman was not going to keep her head down. You know, this is 2021 and she wanted to live her life. She wanted to be fully engaged and she had every right to hope for that.”
