Kate Middleton had the chance to talk about kindness to school children on Wednesday for a morning assembly in an online classroom. Some royal fans, however, left several negative comments directed at the Duchess of Cambridge because they were the supporters of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
In her live video, Kate told the kids that being kind helps others feel better, especially when things are quite bad these days because of the coronavirus lockdown. Kate reminded the children that "small acts of kindness" can go a long way and that every person has a part to play to make one another feel good.
Because it was a live online event, the video allowed comments from the public. Some royal fans wasted no time to grab the opportunity to say what they want to Kate.
According to Daily Express, supporters of the Duchess of Sussex, who usually outnumber Kate's fans, didn't hold back with their comments for Kate. They accused her treating Meghan without kindness. One fan said that Kate could never be the best spokesperson to teach the concept of being kind because of the way she, allegedly, treated Meghan.
But just a few days ago, a royal expert said that Kate was both furious and hurt about a story pitting her against her sister-in-law, which had been published on Tatler. Apparently, there are British media outlets that use the Duchess of Cambridge like a stick to beat the Duchess of Sussex with it.
This has been a sensitive point for Kate, as well as her husband Prince William. Stories saying that they have a falling out with Prince Harry and Meghan apparently upset the Cambridges. Duncan Larcombe said that Kate is keen on stopping the comparisons between her and Meghan.
So, Kate is contemplating on suing Tatler for writing about her alleged "rift" with Meghan, citing anonymous sources. The story suggested that Kate is mad at Meghan and Prince Harry for leaving the royal family because taking on more workload is leaving her "exhausted and trapped."
Kensington Palace came out with a statement declaring that the article is riddled with lies and fabrication. Lawyers of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sent a letter to the magazine to take down the story on Kate. However, Tatler's editor-in-chief Richard Dennen said that Kensington was aware of the story they were writing about Kate because they asked the palace's help for access.
