“They’re just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere, she’s been pursued and vilified,” he began.

Considering Meghan’s husband Prince Harry would be all too familiar with the media circus his mother endured, it makes sense that the treatment of Meghan would hit a nerve with friends and family of the pair.
It just breaks your heart.

“I can’t tell you how frustrating that is, just seeing them broadcast a letter from a daughter to a father, she’s getting a raw deal there and I think it’s irresponsible and I’m surprised by that,” he added.
