Meghan's friend, Barry, faced backlash after making critical remarks about Princess Catherine, branding her as "lazy" and questioning her absence from public duties following her cancer diagnosis. Christopher Bowy, an entrepreneur who featured in the Sussex Netflix documentary series, ignited the controversy with a now-deleted social media post, where he expressed disbelief at Princess Kate's absence from work during her treatment.
Biographer Angela Levin condemned the trolling directed at Princess Kate, particularly highlighting the irony that one of the trolls is a friend of Meghan and Harry. Levin denounced the spiteful nature of the comments, emphasizing that the trolls' knowledge about Kate's medical condition or treatment regime is limited.
Many people criticized Bowy's comments, pointing out Meghan's own limited work hours despite not facing any health issues. They questioned the sincerity of Bowy and others in Meghan's circle who claim concern for Kate's well-being while engaging in harmful behavior online.
As for Bowy himself, questions arose about his own credibility and activities. He faced scrutiny for his involvement in Bot Sentinel, an analytics tool known for its flawed data and controversial actions, including alleged doxxing and harassment. Additionally, Bowy's reputation took a hit when it was revealed that he faced legal action over rental payments.
Overall, the incident underscored the dangers of online trolling and raised questions about the integrity of those participating in such behavior, especially when it comes from individuals associated with high-profile figures like Meghan and Harry.
