Helena Bonham Carter Has Some Advice For Meghan Markle
According to Harper’s Bazaar, Helena said this: “I don’t pay attention to it, and I wish she wouldn’t have to. I feel like there’s just so much. It’s just all too much. It must be really hard for her not to, but all I’d say to her is, as soon as you become well known and in the public, it’s a domain you have to kind of accept.”
Some fans, believe that it’s easier said than done. But for Helena, she believes that there are more important things to worry about than the opinions of strangers.
She added, “So many people keep giving me an opinion about every single person in the royal [family]. You’re like, ‘You didn’t meet them!’ Everyone feels that they’re an authority. And of course, unless you’ve met the person, don’t even voice an opinion.”
