Celebrities are coming forward in support of Meghan Markle after she encouraged people to vote in the upcoming US election.
While it may seem innocent enough, after Meghan encouraged Americans to vote, she received backlash for her comments.
Meghan joined the When All Women Vote #CouchParty on Thursday and spoke about the "change" she wanted to see after the November election. Her neutral comments were considered quite controversial as many people thought she was breaking tradition and inadvertently endorsing a candidate, although she never mentioned anyone by name.
She said: "If you're complacent, you're complicit." She went on to say, "We all know what's at stake this year...And all of you certainly know it if you're here on this fun event with this, then you're all just as mobilized and just as energized to see the change that we all need and deserve."
Meghan previously hinted that she planned on voting in the upcoming election, telling Marie Claire: "I know what it’s like to have a voice, and also what it’s like to feel voiceless."
Piers Morgan, who often criticizes Meghan, responded negatively to her comments about voting. On Friday, the British television personality tweeted: "The Queen must strip the Sussexes of their titles. They can’t remain as royals & spout off about foreign elections in such a brazenly partisan way."
However, more celebrities came out in support of the Duchess of Sussex. Jameela Jamil tweeted her support.
Meghan previously selected The Good Place star as one of the women she featured when she previously guest-edited British Vogue.
Jamil responded to a follower's question asking why people want to "hate" Meghan and she did not mince words.
She wrote: "Because she’s not white. And because she’s smart, strong, opinionated, rebellious, beautiful, happy and has everything they never will. She’s a terrifying threat to patriarchy because she doesn’t fit the stereotype for women."
Bette Midler, however, had the final word. She tweeted at Morgan and simply told him to "f**k off."
