The tweet garnered significant support, with one user commenting, “Meghan Markle’s fan base represent her perfectly.” Another user wrote, “Well said Richard. It’s horrific.”

A third person remarked, “What do you expect? Many are being paid by Markle! Evil personified,” while another added, “Richard we’re used to it as they have attacked Catherine for 4 years. The thing is, POW is actually a lovely kind woman and they do it in the name of a fame chaser who has shown time and time again, that she’s not a nice person. Misplaced and ignorant.”

On the flip side, some users pointed out that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their children, have been subjected to harsh attacks, with few stepping in to defend them.

A user posted on X: “Do comments about the Sussexes & their children from the William & Kate supporters also disgust you? U never mention it. I wish K8 a speedy recovery but u & yr colleagues write of H&M like they’re the Moors Murderers. U r all to blame 4 this toxic situation u have helped create.”

Another user commented: “You never addressed the hate and threats aimed at H & M, which have been ongoing for years. Wrong on all levels and it all needs to be called out, but you stayed silent.”

A third user remarked: “For all the complaints from Meghan and Harry about their treatment, the reality is that the rest of the royals face the same kind of treatment too. As a society, it seems we’ve lost the ability to pause for a moment and simply wish another person well.”
