George Clooney explained why he spoke out against the "unkind" treatment friend Meghan Markle gets from the press. The Oscar-winning actor and humanitarian appeared on "Good Morning Britain" Friday and elaborated on the comments he made last month in defense of the duchess of Sussex. “I’ve seen it when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing,” Clooney said. “It seemed to be a little unjust since she hadn’t done anything except just happen to live her life.” “She’s a really kind and smart and intelligent young woman, and they’re a really wonderful, loving couple,” he added about Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry. “Most of it you can just shrug off and not pay attention to, but sometimes it’s unkind.” Clooney first spoke up about the harsh coverage Meghan receives last month, telling reporters that it's comparable to the treatment of Princess Diana decades ago. "She's a woman who is seven months pregnant, and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was, and it's history repeating itself," Clooney said at the time. He added a stark warning: "We've seen how that ends." Diana, Meghan's late mother-in-law, endured scrutiny from the media around the world before, during and after her marriage to Prince Charles. She died in a car crash in 1997 when her car was "being pursued at high speeds by photographers on motorbikes," the BBC reported. Clooney and his wife, attorney and humanitarian Amal Clooney, live in England with their two children. The couple attended Meghan and Harry's wedding in 2018, and Amal helped celebrate their future child at Meghan's baby shower last month.

Max Mumby/Indigo Getty Images Although royals don't usually respond to rumors or tabloid reports about themselves (Meghan has even said she's stayed away from Twitter), it seems their friends are doing that job for them. In early February, an anonymous group of Meghan's close friends publicly denounced the "global bullying" against the duchess. Clooney previously defended Meghan last month, saying she's being chased like the late Princess Diana was. "She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was and its history repeating itself," the actor had told Australia's Who magazine.

On Friday, during an appearance on Good Morning Britain, the 57-year-old actor opened up about why he previously spoke out in defense of the Duchess of Sussex. "I think it's a little unfair," he said of the press' treatment of the pregnant royal. "... I've seen it, when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing and it seemed... to be a little unjust since she hadn't done anything except just happen to live her life." "She's a really kind and smart and intelligent young woman and they're a really wonderful, loving couple," he said of Meghan, 37, and her husband, Prince Harry.

"I do want to say, I just saw this piece...They're just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere," he said, according to Who. "She's been pursued and vilified. She's a woman who is seven months pregnant and she is being pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that [Princess] Diana was, and it's history repeating itself...and we've seen how that ends." Story continues At the same event, George -- the rumored future godfather of the soon-to-be-born royal baby -- hilariously laughed off the idea, citing his 1-year-old twins with wife Amal Clooney as the reason. "No, I'm now a father of twins, I've got enough s**t," he quipped of Alexander and Ella. "Literally, literally s**t." On his Good Morning Britain appearance, George also discussed his twins, revealing how he used their previously mentioned bodily functions to prank his housekeeper. "I was shooting a TV show in Italy and I went and I got a new nappy and I put Nutella in it and I threw it in the trash can," George, a known prankster, recalled on the morning show. "And then I came in, like an hour later, and there was an Italian housekeeper in this place that we were staying in and I said, 'Amal wants to know if Alexander went poo poo or pee pee.'" "And she's like, 'What?'... And I open up the trash can and I pull out the nappy with the Nutella in it and I open it up and... I tasted it," he continued. "And she screamed and ran out of the room." "So I'm gonna teach my kids a lot of cool tricks," George added. "... It's boring if you don't do some of that." #GMB EXCLUSIVE: Prankster George Clooney reveals how he left his housekeeper in shock with this 'dirty' joke. pic.twitter.com/BJ357tJqJh — Good Morning Britain (@GMB) March 15, 2019 George and Amal were able to leave all thoughts of baby poop at home this week; first by attending a dinner hosted by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday and again the next night when they attended the People's Postcode Lottery charity gala at the McEwan Hall in Edinburgh, Scotland, on behalf of the Clooney Foundation for Justice. At the gala, 41-year-old Amal stunned in a navy blue one-shoulder jumpsuit by Stella McCartney that featured a black textured belt, pleated details and pockets. She also sported an animal print clutch and W. Salamoon & Sons diamond earrings. Meanwhile, George looked dapper in a striped, dark suit and light blue shirt.

The "Catch-22" actor is coming to the royal's defense, again. During an interview with "Good Morning Britain" Friday, Clooney spoke out against how Meghan has been portrayed in the media. "It's a little unfair at times, you know, I've seen it when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing," he said, "and it seemed to me a little unjust since she hadn’t done anything except just happen to live her life." Clooney, who attended the former "Suits" star's wedding to Prince Harry in May, with his barrister wife, Amal, continued with words of praise for Meghan. "She’s a really kind and smart, intelligent young woman, and they're a really wonderful, loving couple," he said. "Most of it you can just shrug off and not pay attention to, but sometimes it's unkind..." It was only the latest royal-defending remarks by Clooney, a well-known critic of tabloid tactics and paparazzi. But the venue he chose, "Good Morning Britain," was unusual given that one of the key hosts on the breakfast TV show is Piers Morgan, among the loudest Meghan critics in the British media. (Clooney was interviewed by different hosts, Kate Garraway and Charlotte Hawkins, on Friday.) A former tabloid editor and still a columnist for the tabloid Daily Mail, Morgan has been criticizing his one-time social-media pal Meghan since last year, when he accused her of being a "ruthless social climber" who had "ghosted" him once she met Prince Harry. Lately, he's taken to mocking Harry as a "puppet" of Meghan who's been disagreeably changed by his wife's influence, in Morgan's view.

Clooney described the event as "nice." "Charles got really crazy and started dancing on the tables, and I was surprised to see that," he deadpanned. "He had such good dance moves." Last month, Clooney compared Meghan's media coverage to that of Princess Diana, who died in a Paris car crash while being pursued by paparazzi in 1997. Multiple investigations later found that Diana died because her driver was drunk, he was driving too fast in order to evade paparazzi, and she was not wearing a seat belt. Clooney told reporters that Meghan is "a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was, and it's history repeating itself." Rumors have swirled about tensions between Duchess Meghan and Duchess Kate, the wife of Prince William, Diana's elder son. The buzz led to a TLC special, which aired on Feb. 5, titled "Kate v Meghan: Princesses at War?" Recent reports claim Meghan is demanding and difficult, a diva who is peremptory with the staff and bossy to Harry, and way too American in her approach to her new role. But the "feud" rumors have been quieting, partly because the royal sisters-in-law have appeared in public together twice in recent weeks and showed no signs of any tension.

George Clooney is once again speaking out against the “unjust” treatment his friend Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has received since joining the royal family. “I’ve seen it when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing,” the actor said during an interview with the ITV program “Good Morning Britain” when he elaborated on comments he made defending the duchess last month. “It seemed to be a little unjust since she hadn’t done anything except just happen to live her life.” ‘It seemed a little unjust, she hasn’t done anything except live her life - she’s a really kind, intelligent woman.’ George Clooney has told @GMB Meghan and Harry are a 'fun couple' and says Meghan's treatment has been ‘a little unfair’.

And Amal was a guest last month at Meghan’s baby shower in New York City. George said Meghan doesn’t deserve the treatment she’s been subjected to and had nothing but praise for her and Harry. Clooney described the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as a "wonderful, loving couple."

"We’ve seen how that ends." Diana died in 1997 at 36 following a car crash in Paris. Harry was 13 at the time. “Good Morning Britain” also asked Clooney about his attendance earlier in the week at a Buckingham Palace dinner honoring a charity founded by Prince Charles. George Clooney joked that Prince Charles is quite the party animal! The two, along with Amal Clooney, gathered at a Buckingham Dinner for The Prince's Trust.
