Abigail Spencer has Meghan Markle’s back.

The actress defended her longtime friend and former “Suits” co-star during an exclusive interview with Page Six at an American Heart Association event in New York City on Thursday.

Spencer, 43, admitted it is not easy to read negative press about Markle, also 43, on the heels of a recent Vanity Fair article that claimed the Duchess of Sussex was “cold and withholding” to staffers and created a “really awful” workplace.

It’s very painful as a friend,” she told us, “but she is the most glorious human being on the planet, and so we just have to get behind her and support her.”

The “Rectify” alum also shared that she is excited for people to watch Markle’s Netflix lifestyle series, “With Love, Meghan,” which premieres March 4.

What I love about it is, you know, Meghan is one of my best friends, and I feel like the whole world is going to see, like, an authentic, very cool, very lovely insight into who she actually is as a person,” she teased. “You’re also going to learn a lot! I’ve learned a lot from her myself.”

When asked what the royal has taught her, Spencer laughed.

“Oh my God, I don’t know how to cook,” she confessed. “You’ll see on the show, she teaches me.”

The Montecito, Calif.-set show originally had been slated to drop on Jan. 15 but was postponed in light of the Los Angeles wildfires.

“I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California,” Markle, who quit her royal duties with husband Prince Harry in 2020, said in a statement earlier this month.

Spencer spoke to Page Six at the Go Red for Women Red Dress Collection event, which featured celebs including Lorraine Bracco, Teyana Taylor, Christine Lahti and Saffron Burrows walking in a fashion show.

They asked me to be in it, and I was like, ‘Ah, I don’t know if I can chew gum and walk at the same time.’ So, we’ll see. It’ll be a great test,” the “All My Children” alum joked before noting that the cause is deeply personal.

“My father died of a heart attack 14 years ago. … One of my intentions this year was to get more involved with the American Heart Association.”
