Ellen Degeneres is the latest celebrity to defend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from criticism.
The talk show host took to Instagram to share a post about the royal couple.
"Portia and I met Prince Harry and Meghan in England to talk about their work on wildlife conservation. They were the most down-to-earth, compassionate people," she wrote.
In a series of Twitter posts overnight, Sir Elton revealed he paid for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to travel by private jet to visit his $26 million home in Nice.
The Rocket Man singer, 72, said he provided the luxury 12-seater Cessna plane, that would have cost more than $36,000 to hire, due to the "high level of much-needed protection".
Sir Elton launched the passionate defence of the couple online and begged for "fair coverage" after photos emerged of them boarding a private jet with son Archie.
He said: "After a hectic year continuing their hard work and dedication to charity, David and I wanted the young family to have a private holiday inside the safety and tranquillity of our home.
"To maintain a high level of much-needed protection, we provided them with a private jet flight."
Last month, another celebrity publicly defended the royal couple.
"You know I didn't know there was negative media out there," Williams replied. "Every time I see her name attached to anything I don't read it."
The tennis superstar also praised the Duchess — who she has been close with since meeting at a celebrity volleyball event in 2014 — for being a good person.
"She couldn't be a better friend to me — low moments, high moments she's always there and that's all I want to be to her," she said.
