72 female lawmakers from across the political spectrum have written to the Duchess of Sussex to express their solidarity in the face of 'outdated, colonial undertones' that appear against her and her family in the press.
Seventy-two female MPs have written to the Duchess of Sussex to express their solidarity with her in the face of the"outdated, colonial undertones" which appear against her and her family in the press.
The parliamentarians, from across the political spectrum, said they supported her in"taking a stand against the often distasteful and misleading nature of the stories printed in a number of our national newspapers concerning you, your character and your family."Stories and headlines had sometimes"sought to cast aspersions about your character, without any good reason as far as we can see," the letter added.
— Holly Lynch MP October 29, 2019 The MPs rounded off their letter by calling on the press to respect an individual's right to privacy and to stop"seeking to tear down a woman down for no apparent reason."Their comments come after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke of the strain press coverage was causing them in an ITV documentary earlier this month.
