Chrissy Teigen praises Meghan Markle’s resilience and kindness amid hostile public narrative

Chrissy Teigen has leapt to Meghan Markle’s defence, expressing admiration for her strength in the face of widespread backlash and insisting the Duchess is fundamentally a “kind, good person.”

Speaking on the renewed interest in Meghan’s public image, Teigen voiced her bafflement over the criticism the Duchess faces. In a candid portrayal, Teigen emphasised that Meghan leads a simple life, prioritising her own happiness and health despite the swirling narratives around her.

The two women share a closer bond than many realise. They appeared together during season two of Meghan’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, in which they recalled their shared experiences on Deal or No Deal. Their interaction revealed both empathy and mutual respect.

Teigen, a mother of four, noted that while she and Meghan remain friends, their children rarely have playdates. She attributed this to her preference for staying at home, a detail which underscores the private lives they both strive to maintain amid public scrutiny.

Throughout her public statements, Teigen has consistently portrayed Meghan as a resilient person who withstands the harsh glare of media attention while refusing to compromise on her personal peace. In Teigen’s eyes, Meghan’s ability to carry on living “simply” is in itself a quiet act of defiance.

The timing of Teigen’s remarks aligns with rising tension around Meghan’s presence in public life. As with Love, Meghan returns for its second season, the spotlight on her earlier work and associations resurfaces old debates, new criticisms, and the same polarising reactions.

Yet Teigen’s defence stands out: not with grand gestures, but with observations about character. She described Meghan’s kindness and warmth as central to who she is, traits that she says remain constant despite the media storms.

For fans watching, the exchange may feel intimate: two women who share history and respect, pushing back publicly on how people paint Meghan’s narrative. The subtle message Teigen offers is clear: she sees beyond the headlines.

Teigen’s willingness to speak up also underscores the pressures that Meghan continues to face. In a media ecosystem quick to judge, allies who speak out may become as scrutinised as their subject. Still, Teigen persists in choosing authenticity over silence.

Their friendship, cast against the glare of global attention, has become a private lifeline for Meghan amid public storm. And for Teigen, “kindness” seems to be her shield — a rebuttal to the polarising claims that have dogged her friend for years.

As the second season of With Love, Meghan gains momentum, and Teigen’s words may help shift the narrative. She offers not just defence, but a reminder: even public figures deserve compassion.
