In times of need, it helps to have a partner like Prince Harry!
ICYMI, the 35-year-old shared an emotional open letter on Tuesday regarding the apparent mistreatment of Meghan Markle by the British media, comparing it to the way his late mother Princess Diana was treated up until her untimely death in 1997. But despite the difficulties the couple is facing at present, these hard times are also managing to bring them closer together.

Luckily, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have each other — and hopefully other members of the royal family, as well — to rely on. A source shared with People:
“They definitely lean on each other during challenging times.”
The insider added (below):
“They are a unit. She’s just focusing on what she and Harry are trying to accomplish and not be distracted.”
The report of their newly strengthened bond comes just after Harry announced they will be pursuing legal action against the Associate Newspapers corporation, prompted by the “unlawful” leaking of his wife’s letter to her father Thomas Markle in which she pleaded with him in August 2018 to stop exploiting her royal status.
While things have certainly changed since his mother’s passing in 1997, Archie Harrison‘s dad explained in the raw message his “deepest fear is history repeating itself” if the media won’t stop hounding his the former Suits star, writing:
“I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces.”

This “bullying” by the media has unfortunately been going on for quite some time, but enough is finally enough. So Prince William‘s brother is taking a stand, including taking legal action against the “specific press pack.” The royal continued (below):
“There comes a point when the only thing to do is to stand up to this behaviour, because it destroys people and destroys lives. Put simply, it is bullying, which scares and silences people. We all know this isn’t acceptable, at any level. We won’t and can’t believe in a world where there is no accountability for this.”
Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Harry’s defense of Meghan is no doubt admirable, but how will things change in the media moving forward so the hate is put to an end? Sound OFF (below) in the comments with your thoughts!!
