"To think That some of your - what we would call Mainstream - Media actually allowed That to be printed in their pages, or amplified, was heartbreaking and wrong," Mrs Clinton said.

"She is an amazing young woman, she has an incredible Life Story . She has stood up for herself, she has made her own way in The World . And Then she falls in love, and he falls in love with her, and everybody should be celebrating That because it is a true Love Story ," she added.

"I feel as A Mother I just want to put my arms around her. Oh my God, I want to hug her. I want to tell her to hang in there, don't let those bad guys get you down. "

Mrs Clinton said The Duchess might find it easier to cope with the pressure if she learned "techniques" such as "some humour, some deflection".

"But it is tough what she is going through and I think she deserves a lot better," she added.
