George Clooney sent a message to Meghan Markle: she will be ‘vilified’ like Princess Diana…Full story below

George Clooney sees an eerie and dangerous parallel in the way the tabloid media has treated his friend Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and the way it attacked the late Princess Diana.

The Hollywood star spoke out against what he believes is “irresponsible” treatment of the former Meghan Markle, whose relationship with her estranged father, Thomas Markle, has continued to play out in the press since she married Prince Harry last summer.

George Clooney has come to the defense of his friend Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, saying the tabloid treatment of her is reminiscent of Princess Diana.
“I do want to say, they’re just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere,” he told Australia’s Who Magazine on Tuesday. “She’s been pursued and vilified.”

Clooney and his wife, Amal, attended Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry in May.

He sees the press treatment of the Duchess, who is pregnant with the couple’s first child, as reminiscent of the relentless coverage that Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, faced before her death at 36 in 1997 in a car crash in Paris.

Diana was in a car that was speeding away from paparazzi at the time of the crash, which French authorities found was caused by the intoxication and reckless driving of driver Henri Paul.

“She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was, and it’s history repeating itself,” Clooney said about Meghan. “We’ve seen how that ends.”

Clooney lashed out against the media back in 1997 after Princess Diana’s tragic death.
