Another one said: “I think the trolling is the most insane amount of reverse bullying I have ever seen. I genuinely dont(sic) think it is healthy or nice. Leave her alone … move on with life to people who are actual villains.”
A third one commented: ” hate is sooo forced.”
Another person agreed: “Yes. People seem to hate her for no reason…”
Meanwhile, a fifth one wrote: “What I dont(sic) get why it is she is hated for doing the same things Kate is doing and K is glorified for it … this level of hate is just next level …”

The Duchess of Sussex has never commented on any of the nasty comments made against her but she has previously spoken about online bullying and the dangers of social media.
Last year, Meghan took part in a special panel at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Texas, where she opened up on her own experience with bullying as she insisted more has to be done to create online safeguarding measures.
She spoke about the harassment she faced across multiple social media platforms, admitting the “worst of the bullying” came when she was pregnant with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Meghan said: “It’s really interesting because I can reflect on it, I keep my distance from [social media] right now, for my own wellbeing.
“The bulk of the bullying and abuse that I was experiencing on social media and online was when I was pregnant with Archie and with Lili, and [when] they were born.
“And you just think about that and you [struggle] to wrap your head around why people would be so hateful. It’s not catty, it’s cruel.”
Meanwhile, during the same year, the duchess was defended by a journalist following another wave of negative comments after she and visited Jamaica in January.
Journalist Liz Jones took to her Daily Mail column to defend duchess saying that the online abuse is “unlike any I have come across online”.
Ms Joned wrote: “If Meghan is reading even a fraction of the online abuse aimed at her, I wonder how she is able to function at all.
“You might say, well, don’t read it, but these barbs have a way of finding their target, seeping under a door.”
