\"I have a great feeling toward and about her because it's one thing to be told what it will be like when you step onto the biggest stage with the brightest spotlight ... and yet it still is really hard to imagine,\" Clinton said. \"It takes some getting used to, to have your every move scrutinized and analyzed and frankly things made up about.\"
\"And I really wish her and her husband the very best because they are struggling to have a life of meaning and integrity on their own terms,\" she continued. \"And that's hard enough if you're just walking around in today's world, but if you're on that big a platform, it's really difficult.\"
Clinton said she doesn't think \"there's any doubt\" Meghan's race and gender have played a role in how she has been treated by the media and the public. She also described the union of Harry and Meghan, who wed last year, as a \"true love story.\"

\"You know, people don't choose who they fall in love with, they fall in love. She is an amazing young woman. She has an incredible life story. She has stood up for herself. She has made her own way in the world,\" Clinton said. \"And then she falls in love and he falls in love with her and everybody should be celebrating that because it is a true love story. You can just look at them and see that.\"
Meghan, who has also met privately with former first lady Michelle Obama, publicly spoke about her difficulties with parts of the British press in the recent documentary \"Harry & Meghan: An African Journey.\"

\"The biggest thing that I know is that I never thought that this would be easy but I thought it would be fair,\" she said. \"And that’s the part that’s really hard to reconcile but, I don’t know, just take each day as it comes.\"
