Who knew Ellen DeGeneres and Meghan Markle were friends?
Who knew they were friends? August 20, 2019 - 07:43 BST Andrea Caamano at Windsor earlier this summer Following Elton John's statement defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's use of a private jet to spend a few days holidaying with him and his family in his French villa, Ellen DeGeneres has followed suit and also leapt to the couple's defence – revealing a recent private meeting in Windsor.
She concluded: "Imagine being attacked for everything you do, when all you're trying to do is make the world better."The private gathering is thought to have taken place earlier this summer in their Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage. Their meeting is not surprising as they are both passionate about the same topic – wildlife conservation.
And for her 60th birthday in 2018, Portia surprised Ellen by launching The Ellen Fund, which supports global conservation efforts for endangered species. The couple's immediate focus is to secure a future for wild mountain gorillas by building The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund a permanent home.Earlier in this year, the couple also invited another very special guest to their home, Dr. Jane Goodall.
"But I've always thought: this place is borrowed. And, surely, being as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we all are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better behind for the next generation."Ellen's decision to talk publicly about the Sussexes comes the day after Sir Elton John took to social media to fight back on their behalf about their use of a private jet to take Archie on holiday.
