Meghan Markle's best friend Jessica Mulroney defended her amid Buckingham Palace's investigation into accusations that the duchess bullied staff members during her time as a working royal.
"I don't know that anyone has ever had to deal with the pressure, the politics and the press like this woman. In the face of it all, I have never seen her waver from kindness, empathy and love," Mulroney wrote in an Instagram post on Friday.

Representatives for Markle told The Times that the timing of the bullying accusations - leading up to the Sussexes' highly anticipated interview with Oprah - is not a coincidence.
"Let's just call this what it is - a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation. We are disappointed to see this defamatory portrayal of The Duchess of Sussex given credibility by a media outlet," a spokesperson for Markle told The Times.

"It's no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining The Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and The Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years," the spokesperson continued.
Mulroney reportedly met Markle when the duchess worked on 'Suits' - and her kids even had a role in the royal wedding
