Meghan Markle’s friend Janina Gavankar appeared on This Morning on ITV today (March 10) and backed up the comments about the royal family made in the recent Oprah interview.
In the interview, Meghan spoke about her mental health, claimed she wasn’t helped by the institution and made allegations about a racist comment about the colour of Archie’s skin.
Last night the palace released a statement about the interview.
And now it appears to be the turn of Meghan’s friends to have their say.

Chatting to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning, Janina backed the duchess and first opened up about the comments on her mental health while pregnant.

Asked about comments she wasn’t offered help by the royals, Janina said: “I believe she said she had no one to turn to within the institution.
“She turned to all of us, she turned to her husband.”
Janina added that she was “worried, terrified, sad” for Meghan.
The palace’s statement
She then turned her attention to the Buckingham Palace statement.
“After reading this short statement that came out from Buckingham Palace I thought two things.
“I am so thankful they are finally acknowledging the experience, but on the other side I also know that the family and staff were well aware of it.”
