George Clooneyhas reiterated his support for his friendMeghan Markle.

The actor, 57, told a British morning show that she was just trying to “live her life,” but had to contend with “unkind” commentary and “unjust” media attention.

Speaking in Scotland, where he and wifeAmalhad received a donation for their foundation, he toldGood Morning Britain: “I think it’s a little unfair at times when – I’ve seen it when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing, and it seemed to me to be a little unjust since [Meghan] hadn’t done anything except just happen to live her life.”

He added that the Duchess of Sussex, who is eight months pregnant, is “a really kind and smart and intelligent young woman.”

George also praised Meghan andPrince Harryas a “really wonderful, loving couple.”

“Most of it you can just shrug off and not pay attention to, but sometimes it’s unkind,” the star said.
