Now a group of 72 British female MPs have joined forces to draft an open letter in support of Markle as she battles the tabloids. Holly Lynch, a member of the Labour Party, shared the letter on Twitter. “Women MPs from all political parties have put aside our differences to stand in solidarity with the Duchess of Sussex today and are sending her this open letter,” she wrote.
“As women MPs of all political persuasions, we wanted to express our solidarity with you in taking a stand against the often distasteful and misleading nature of the stories printed in our national newspapers concerning you, your character, and your family,” the letter states. “On occasions, stories and headlines have represented an invasion of your privacy and have sought to cast aspersions about your character, without any good reason as far as we can see.
They say they recognize that the duchess’s public life looks different from their own, yet there are some similarities. “Although we find ourselves being women in public life in a very different way to you, we share an understanding of the abuse and intimidation which is now so often used as a means of disparaging women in the public office from getting on with very important work,” they say in the letter.
