Celebrity “Nobody can take the sort of abuse that Meghan had to take, and that I’ve had to take.” Labour MP Dianne Abbott has voiced her support of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry following their interview with Oprah Winfrey. Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme, the UK’s first Black woman MP, who is no stranger to online abuse, spoke about the racism towards Meghan, and the resulting impact on her mental health. In the interview, which aired in the UK on ITV on Monday March 8, Harry and Meghan discussed the difficulties they faced before and after their marriage, fears for their personal safety, and the racialized treatment of Meghan by the British press and royal family. Speaking on BBC Radio 4, Abbott said, per the Guardian: “The relentless negativity and abuse is awful. It’s not just any one article or tweet, it’s knowing that day after day, there are going to be abusive tweets and stuff on Facebook.
