Just brutal - Martina Navratilova on British media s harassment of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry before they left the royal family

By Parag Jain Modified 14 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Martina Navratilova shows support for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle American tennis legend Martina Navratilova has come forward to lend her support to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Navratilova expressed sympathy towards the duo after listening to Prince Harry's narration of the events that led the couple to step away from the royal family at the beginning of 2020. In a documentary series about mental health - The Me You Can't See - Prince Harry revealed how he was greeted with absolute silence from his family members when he asked for help for his wife, who was being hounded by the British media. The former Hollywood actress married Prince Harry in 2018 and from the moment the couple made their relationship public, she was allegedly harassed by the British media. "Within the first eight days of our relationship being made public was when they said, 'Harry's girl is (almost) straight outta Compton' and that her 'exotic DNA will be thickening the royal blood'. We got followed, photographed, chased, harassed, and not just by traditional media, but social media platforms as well. I felt completely helpless. I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence or total neglect," Prince Harry said. Often known for standing up and taking a stance when it comes to serious issues, former World No. 1 Navratilova took to social media to show support for the couple, particularly Meghan Markle. "Just brutal," Martina Navratilova tweeted.

Yeah. My biggest regret is not making more of a stance earlier on in my relationship with my wife and calling out the racism when I did. History was repeating itself. My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone that wasn't white and now look what's happened," he added.
