In Jamil’s thread of tweets,The Good Placeactress accused the English people and the press of being racist and claimed that they were only bringing this to the forefront because they did not approve of Meghan, who is black, marrying into the royal family.
Jamil also noted how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are required to travel via private aircraft for their safety, as well as the safety of their 3-month-old sonArchieand the citizens around them.
“Ugh. Dear England and English press, just say you hate her because she’s black, and him for marrying a black woman and be done with it God dammit,”she wrote. “Your bullying is so embarrassing and obvious. You’ve all lost your marbles. It’s 2019. Grow up.”

A few hours later, Mulroney shared Jamil’s initial tweet on her Instagram Stories before expressing her thoughts in a post on her account.

“Shame on you, you racist bullies,” Mulroney added.
In the caption, which has since been deleted, she wrote, “I never speak but this is now 3 years of relentless and undeserved hate and abuse.”

John, 72, continued, “After a hectic year continuing their hard work and dedication to charity, David and I wanted the young family to have a private holiday inside the safety and tranquility of our home. To maintain a high level of much-needed protection, we provided them with a private jet flight.”

Hours later, Pinkweighed in on the issuewith a message on Twitter.

“I also have the privilege of spending time with this [sic] 2 great human beings,” he wrote. “I say privilege not only because of their status but because of the kind of people they are. They are the most humble and kind people that I know. And who they are should allow them to be even more inspiring to all of us.”
