Seventy-two women in Britain’s Parliament condemned the “outdated, colonial undertones” of newspaper coverage of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, in an open letter released Tuesday that echoed attacks made by Prince Harry against British tabloids this month.

Led by the lawmaker Holly Lynch, the members of Parliament wrote to Meghan that they stood in solidarity with her against “the often distasteful and misleading nature” of some articles about the duchess and her family.

“On occasions, stories and headlines have represented an invasion of your privacy and have sought to cast aspersions about your character,” the lawmakers said in the letter, which was posted on Twitter by Ms. Lynch. “Even more concerning still, we are calling out what can only be described as outdated, colonial undertones to some of these stories.”
