Meghan Markle's Selective Outrage: 'World’s Most Bullied' Plays 'Victim Card' But Ignores Kate Middleton's Royal Trial by Fire

A recent claim by Meghan Markle that she is the "world's most bullied person" is not sitting well with veteran royal expert Jennie Bond.

"No one should have to read disgusting abuse like that at any point in their lives," she told an outlet. "Sadly, though, Meghan is not alone in being bullied. Remember the press abuse of Fergie as the Duchess of Pork? Remember the insults thrown at Catherine... 'Waity Katie?'"

Bond acknowledged the claim and praised Meghan and Prince Harry in their efforts to "help make the digital world a safer place, especially for young people." However, the veteran reporter did not shirk away from pointing out examples in recent royal history that contradict the Duchess' remark, which her friend Larissa May shared with Vanity Fair.

"And what about the recent and current abuse of the Princess of Wales, forcing her to reveal she was undergoing cancer treatment," Bond continued. "Even then, her video didn't stop the revolting conspiracy theories on social media. Meghan is far from alone in being a victim of abuse. But good on her for trying to do something about it."

Earlier this year, the future queen was the subject behind the weeks-long trending hashtag "#Where's Kate?" Both "online trolls" and "major media persoanlities," most of whom have been vocal about supporting Meghan in the past, engaged in a range of conspiracy theories suggesting the princess "was dead," was on life support after her "bowels exploded from bulimia laxative abuse," and many other claims.

May's claim led political commentator Chloe Dobbs to state, "This is just the most pathetic thing that has come out of her mouth. Tell this to kids who get beat up over and over again and are bullied by parents in abusive households."

"I mean, how pretentious are you Meghan Markle?" she added.

Despite her former bodyguard recently speaking out to state he "feels sorry for her," the Duchess of Sussex found no such sympathy with Dobbs' co-panelist and ex-BBC broadcaster Liz Kershaw who stated, "Most of the criticism has been negative, and I think she deserves it."

Reporter Benjamin Butterworth took a more measured critical approach by adding, "We are quite aggressive towards her. We’re slightly obsessed in the media, whether it’s British or American media. I can imagine that’s not nice to be on the receiving end of. But I do think there’s something really off about going and talking to young girls, going and talking to young people and saying, 'pity me.'"

Daily Mirror reported on Bond's remarks.
