TheOcean’s 11star has alsoshown public support for Meghan, telling a British morning show in March that she was just trying to “live her life,” but had to contend with “unkind” commentary and “unjust” media attention.
“I think it’s a little unfair at times when – I’ve seen it when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing, and it seemed to me to be a little unjust since [Meghan] hadn’t done anything except just happen to live her life,” he said.
He added that the Duchess of Sussex, who is eight months pregnant at the time, is “a really kind and smart and intelligent young woman.”
Clooney also praised Meghan andPrince Harryas a “really wonderful, loving couple.”
