Summary
- Chrissy Teigen praises Meghan Markle as "kind and good"
- Teigen advocates for early type 1 diabetes screening after son's diagnosis
- Teigen and Markle have remained friends since Teigen's appearance on Markle's Netflix series
In a recent interview, model and mother Chrissy Teigen expressed her admiration for her friend Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. Teigen, who appeared on Markle's Netflix series "With Love, Meghan," described the Duchess as "incredibly strong" and "kind, good," despite the polarizing public perception of her.
Teigen, who was speaking at Hello Sunshine's Shine Away event on October 11th, 2025, also used the platform to advocate for early type 1 diabetes screening. This comes after her own son, Miles, was diagnosed with the disease. Teigen emphasized the importance of having a supportive community and access to information during the initial diagnosis, something she wishes she had experienced.
According to Teigen, Markle's actions have never been driven by public perception, but rather by her desire to live simply and do what's best for her family and friends. Teigen believes that Markle is often misunderstood, and that people tend to "read into what they want to believe" about her.
