After the shock diagnosis of cancer and the stresses and strains of the last few weeks, Princess Kate is currently trying to find some peace and quiet at Anmer Hall and spend time with her family. In the meantime, however, radical Meghan fans have launched a veritable hunt for the 42-year-old online.

As the British newspaper "The Sun" has now reported, the cyberbullying against Princess Kate is taking on ever more blatant forms. And behind the defamatory claims are fans of Kate's sister-in-law Meghan.

Trolls claim: Kate's video is not real
For example, after Prince William's wife published a courageous video last week in which she made her cancer public, a post showing the same clip went online on the "Sussexsquad" profile. Only Kate's face was replaced by that of Duchess Meghan. The reason: online trolls wanted to prove that Kate's cancer video wasn't real at all, but just a fake - produced by artificial intelligence.

Here you can see the original video that Princess Kate published at the end of last week:

"Is there no wind in the UK, how come the background flowers aren't moving. This is artificial intelligence," claims the re-edited version of the online trolls.

Hate and crude theories
The profile is also teeming with other hate messages and conspiracy theories. "I wish Kate everything she ever wished for Meghan," the Sussex Squad makers also shared a post from a Meghan fan. They commented: "After all the hell Kate has put Meghan through and continues to put Meghan through, it's like she's getting karma for the pain she's caused Meghan. Although we would never wish her to have cancer."

The creators of the profile apparently want to restore the ex-actress's tarnished image - at Princess Kate's expense. The shocking thing is that hundreds of people seem to like it. Even the crudest theories are popular.

Meghan and Harry remain silent
But that's not all: according to the Sun, US entrepreneur Christopher Bouzy (48) of all people is cheering on the Sussex Squad makers. The very man who spoke out against the online hate against the Sussexes in the Netflix documentary about Harry and Meghan, which was published in 2022.

According to the documentary, Bouzy not only took part in a "Squads" podcast, but has also disparaged Prince William as a "bald muppet" in the past.

There is no evidence that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan support the online trolls. So far, however, the Sussexes have not spoken out against the hate messages against Princess Kate.
