Christopher Bouzy is going to bat for Meghan Markle.
The Duchess of Sussex’s pal defended her against “cruel and sickening” comments stemming from the throwback hospital video she posted for Princess Lilibet’s birthday.
In the footage, the couple grooved to the “Baby Momma Dance Song” in the delivery room — leading haters to question her baby bump.
“Imagine, for a moment, what it would feel like to have some of the happiest and most vulnerable moments of your life turned into ammunition for hate,” Bouzy, 50, told Newsweek Wednesday.
“Every maternity dress and every baby video becomes ‘evidence’ for strangers obsessively trying to prove your pregnancies were a sham,” he continued. “It is sickening and cruel.”
The social media expert, who appeared in the couple’s 2022 “Harry & Meghan” documentary, explained how “ridiculous lies” about the royals have become a “full-blown harassment campaign.”
Bouzy added, “We cannot ignore the real-world impact that this kind of sustained conspiracy harassment has.”
He noted that Markle, 43, “has spoken about how she had suicidal thoughts at the height of the abuse” while living in England.
“One doesn’t have to stretch to see a link between that despair and the ceaseless torrent of vilification she endured,” Bouzy said.
“Beyond the personal toll on Meghan and Harry, there’s a broader societal damage to consider,” he concluded. “When conspiracy theories like these flourish, they corrode our collective grasp on reality and decency.”
In addition to Bouzy, Candiace Dillard also vehemently defended the “Suits” alum from a social media user who claimed “no woman 9 months pregnant moves that way.”
The troll added, “That belly is lumpy and Meg moves it around like a sack of jelly beans. Where is the uncomfortable mom-to-be? Because this woman has no clue what it feels like to be in labor or even induced. Induced moms are nervous about the pain!”
Dillard, 38, tweeted, “Actually, at 9 months pregnant, I was leg pressing three times my weight, doing pull ups twice my weight and walking several miles on a treadmill so stfu and just say you hate that a Black woman married a white prince.”
The “Real Housewives of Potomac” star shared a photo from her own labor, highlighting her “lumpy, uneven, stretched and swollen” belly.
“Misogynoir has no expiration date,” she quipped.
Markle posted the video on June 4, writing, “Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!”
She and Harry, 40, are also the parents of 6-year-old Prince Archie.
The family of four lives in Montecito, Calif., in a $14 million mansion.
