Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been a controversial aspect of the royal family for the last few years. From their marriage to their estrangement, the world has seen the differences between the family unfold. While many side with them, more lambast them online. Another moment took place at the Golden Globes, which saw Chris Evert rushing to their defense after a scathing critique of the two went viral.

Evert was often with those who poked fun at the royal couple. However, she is not incessant in berating the two, and has found it in herself to move on from critiquing them and taking a new stance this year.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been the butt of many jokes and memes as their lives have created quite a bit of drama. They were estranged from the royal family, but eventually came to a financial agreement with them. It did not settle well with many and this even found its way to the Golden Globes, where host Jo Koy said they would earn millions for doing nothing.

There was much backlash on several social media platforms following the bit, and one account even said that the couple would not take the joke lightly. They further said the two lacked a sense of humor. Evert, who is usually against the two, came to their defense. She said, “I really wish people would leave them alone and focus on themselves.. Let’s just all be kinder and less judgmental this year…❤️🙏“.

Evert is often speaking out against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. But lately, she has been rushing to their defense whenever harsh comments find their way to them.

Evert defends the Duke and Duchess

Earlier in 2023, Prince Harry was locked in a legal battle with the Daily Mail over a gross breach of privacy. As is with all issues, the world was divided over whom they wanted to support. Chris Evert, who is usually speaking against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, sided with them as the legal battle ensued.

She said that she usually supports British Journalists, but this time, they crossed the line of integrity, and Prince Harry was completely in the right. The libel case eventually went against the Duke as he was ordered to pay the publisher of the Mail approximately $55,000. Since then, we have seen Evert side with the two, and she is likely to have the same reaction again.
