Meghan Markle is making friends with members of the British Parliament.
In a new interview, MP Holly Lynch, who organized the letter, revealed that Markle called her Wednesday morning after the showing of solidarity.
"She was calling to thank myself and other women MP for standing with her," Lynch noted, adding,"As a fairly new mom myself, the challenges of being in the public eye, managing childcare, managing public responsibilities can all be a challenge, so we did discuss that. But yeah, we were quite happy to stand with her and recognize that what she's going through has on occasion had xenophobic undertones. We're not happy about that.
Lynch added that she felt some of the pieces had racist undertones and that the general mood was unwelcoming to the Duchess. "I've been really concerned about some of the narratives, some of the articles that have been incredibly sexist but also that she's not from this country, she's from elsewhere and we're not happy about that," Lynch said."I'm afraid that's unacceptable in this day and age. She's here, she's married our prince, they've got a young son.
EXCL: 'I got a phonecall. It was Buckingham Palace asking me was I available to speak to the Duchess of Sussex.'
