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.”
