Ellen DeGeneresis once again supporting her palsMeghan MarkleandPrince Harry.
The talk show host, who previously shared that shevisited the royal coupleand their 5-month-old son Archie at their Frogmore Cottage home over the summer, defended Meghan and Harry’s decision totake legal action against British media.
Chatting withPrince Harry‘s polo pal Nacho Figueras, DeGeneres said, “You and I feel very strongly in support of what’s happening right now to protect themselves, because I met them through you, like I said, and I learned just how much scrutiny that they’re under all the time.”
Figueras defended Harry as a “wonderful man”: “He cares about making the world a better place.”

“Then he found Meghan, who is an incredible girl,” he added. “She gave up all of the things that she had to marry this man that she loves, which is great and people think of it like, ‘Oh, how easy it is for you, girl, to go marry this guy,’ but nobody know all the very hard things that go with that.”
“To me, the most surprising thing is that media and even some people are not seeing that these are heroes,” the Argentine athlete said on the show. “We should be treating them as heroes. These guys are taking their time to make the world a better place, and they’re all fighting for us. Instead of us praising them, and loving them, and cheering them up, we are attacking them. So, it’s a shame.”

In agroundbreaking statement released on Tuesday, Harry lashed out against the British tabloid press for the “ruthless” treatment his wife has received “over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son,” he said.
The prince went on to say that he and Meghan have “continued to put on a brave face – as so many of you can relate to – I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been.”
DeGeneres immediatelytweeted her support. “I’m proud to call Meghan and Harry friends, and I’m even more proud of them for finally saying enough is enough,” she wrote.
Prince Harry’s statement comes as the couple launches legal action against the Mail on Sunday.
