Chrissy Teigen has opened up about her friendship with Meghan Markle, describing the Duchess of Sussex as a kind and resilient person who is often misunderstood. Speaking at a recent event where she advocated for type 1 diabetes testing, Teigen also reflected on how Meghan handles public scrutiny with grace.
At 39 years old, Teigen continues to balance her career, family life, and advocacy work. During her appearance at the Hello Sunshine Shine Away event, she recalled her cameo on season two of Meghan’s Netflix series With Love and spoke warmly about their bond. “I adore her. I really adore her. I think she is so incredibly strong,” Teigen told People magazine. She added that it was “insane” how polarizing Meghan is for so many, when in reality, she is simply a “kind, good person” who wants the best for her family and friends.
Teigen emphasized that Meghan’s actions are not calculated for public perception but rather reflect her straightforward lifestyle. “She just lives simply,” Teigen said, noting that people often project their own narratives onto Meghan. “People are always going to read into what they want to read into, and they’re going to hyperfocus into what they want to believe.”
The model and television personality also praised Meghan’s attitude toward criticism, saying she admired how the Duchess remains focused on her own happiness and health. “I think it’s cool that Meghan is just like, ‘Listen, say whatever you want. I’m happy and I’m healthy and I feel good.’”
When asked whether she and her husband John Legend arrange playdates with Meghan and Prince Harry’s children, Teigen laughed, admitting that while it would be fun, she rarely leaves the house. “I don’t go anywhere. I try to do every photo shoot, everything at our house. So, no. But if the time comes, absolutely,” she joked.
Teigen, who is also a spokesperson for a company that developed the first telehealth-enabled platform for type 1 diabetes screening, used the event to highlight the importance of early testing and awareness. Her advocacy stems from her family’s personal experiences, and she continues to use her platform to raise awareness about health issues while also defending her friends against unfair criticism.
Her candid remarks about Meghan Markle not only shed light on their friendship but also offered a glimpse into how Meghan is perceived by those close to her as a woman of strength, kindness, and resilience, despite the controversies that often surround her name.
