Peter Andre says ‘we have to stick up’ for Meghan Markle after cyber-bullying revelations

The 42-year-old addressed the issue at an International Women’s Day event in Austin, Texas, about her experiences while pregnant with Archie and Lilibet.

GB News host Peter Andre sympathises with the Duchess and believes we should be supportive of her efforts to highlight the issue of cyber-bullying.

“I think in a situation like that, you have to stick up for her”, he said.

“When you’re pregnant, you’ve been thrust into a whole new world. She’s been thrust in the limelight in a whole different way.

“That would be a lot to deal with.”

Meghan told the SXSW conference on Friday: "The bulk of the bullying and abuse that I was experiencing in social media and online, was when I was pregnant with Archie and with Lili.

"And you just think about that and really wrap your head around what people would be so hateful.

"It's not catty, it's cruel, why you would do that? Certainly when you're pregnant and you have a newborn."

It comes after Meghan hired a UK-based PR expert in the run-up to a mystery project.

The move has sparked speculation as to what her’s and Prince Harry’s next move will be, with a return to Britain mooted.

Peter believes the British public would be “supportive” of the couple and “forgiving”.

“The British public are incredibly forgiving”, he asserted.

“If someone shows the right kind of remorse and someone would be willing to go ‘I’ve messed up’, they’re incredible.

“I just don’t think you see that a lot.

“The British are quite annoyed at Harry at the moment. If he comes back and apologises, I do think the British public would be like that.

“That’s the beautiful thing about this country.”
