James Blunt has defended Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle against “vitriolic” media coverage.
The singer claims that the coverage of the couple is “leaning on bullying.”
James served alongside the Duke of Sussex in the army and attended the couple’s wedding.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain this morning, he priased Prince Harry for being a“phenomenal soldier.”
“I do know [the couple], I might have spoken briefly about it,” he said.
“Him, I know from the army, he’s a very nice man, a really phenomenal soldier who does a lot of work for other people, for charities, for veterans, the Sentebale charity for children in Africa.”
Commenting on the pressure the couple faces from the UK press, he said: “I think under great scrutiny they seem to try a lot for other people.”
“So the vitriol seems a bit like leaning on bullying to me.”
James’ comments come after the couple spoke out about the difficulties of life in the public eye.
