Fans of the Royal Family have been positively devouring Netflix's latest documentary, Harry & Meghan. The popular series offers an insider's look into the lives of the Duke and Duchess, with plenty of juicy bits that have up until now been kept hidden from the public eye.

Perhaps not so surprisingly, a substantial amount of hate and controversy has been levied upon the pair — specifically Meghan Markle. It was enough to compel singer/songwriter Maren Morris to speak out and come to Meghan's defense.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's Tell-All Documentary, 'Harry & Meghan', Is Currently Making The Rounds On Netflix.

Harry & Meghan offers fans of the Royal Family an insider's look into the personal lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The series has promised to shed light on a number of hot-button topics, including the reasons why Harry and Meghan chose to abdicate their Royal duties in the first place.

"I wasn't being thrown to the wolves, I was being fed to the wolves," Meghan said in a recent clip.

It got so bad that singer/songwriter Maren Morris felt compelled to go to bat for Meghan and voice her displeasure regarding the unfair amount of hatred that's been thrust upon her.

"This profound hatred and annoyance at Meghan Markle specifically — mostly coming from women, I have to say — it’s unfathomable to me," Morris began in a recent TikTok video.

Maren then goes on to talk about King Edward VIII's abdication from the throne in 1936 — after he was forbidden to wed the woman he loved. She references Queen Elizabeth II's own sister, Princess Margaret, and the rift that came after she was barred from marrying her divorced lover, Peter Townsend. "And you talk about Princess Di; she didn’t leave her children but she left the family," Morris explained.

That being said, "This all feels very pointed at one woman as it mostly always has in history," she argued.

In the comments section, Maren also addresses the hypocrisy of people seemingly being more upset with Meghan than they are with Prince Andrew. As many will no doubt recall, the Prince has been involved in a number of sex scandals over the years, alongside the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein. Surely, Meghan hasn't done more to deserve this kind of vitriol than an accused child sex offender, Maren asserts.
