<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The singer, who attended the couple’s wedding in 2018, said he has spoken to the couple about the critical attention they have received.</p>
<p>In the ITV documentary Harry &; Meghan: An African Journey, Meghan described her past year as a member of the Royal Family as “hard” and said she was not prepared for the intensity of the tabloid interest.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">&#39;My British friend said to me &#39;I&#39;m sure he&#39;s great but you shouldn&#39;t do it&#39;&#39;</p>
<p>The Duchess of Sussex reveals she was warned not to marry Prince Harry because &#39;British tabloids will destroy your life&#39; <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HarryAndMeghan?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#HarryAndMeghan</a> <a href="https://t.co/GWs5KfuovM">https://t.co/GWs5KfuovM</a> <a href="https://t.co/SmUl3ofSnd">pic.twitter.com/SmUl3ofSnd</a></p>

<p>Blunt told Good Morning Britain: “I do know them, I might have spoken briefly about it.</p>
<p>“What I think I can see is that they seem to be on the cover of the newspapers a lot and it seems to be vitriolic quite a lot of the time.”</p>

<p>He added: “Him I know from the army, he’s a very nice man, a really phenomenal soldier, who does a lot of work for other people, for charities, for veterans, for Sentebale charity, for children in Africa, and I think under great scrutiny they seem to try a lot for other people.</p>
<p>So the vitriol seems a bit like leaning on bullying to me.”</p>

<p>Blunt, whose new album Once Upon A Mind is out later this week, also discussed how he deals with criticism online.</p>
<p>The You’re Beautiful singer has developed a large Twitter following because of his pithy responses to trolls.</p>
<p>He joked: “If I’m honest I don’t write them myself, Prince Philip does it for me.”</p>
<p>He added: “We are really unpleasant to each other online, the real world seems to be so positive.</p>

<p>“I do these concerts to thousands of people and then people say ‘How are you dealing with all the negativity?’ and you go ‘What negativity?’</p>
<p>“It’s just dedicated to Twitter and online and I think we should laugh at ourselves for even focusing on that.</p>
<p>“We should be focusing on the real world, which is much more positive.”</p>
