In a poignant resurgence, a video of Meghan Markle appealing for an end to the online feud between her supporters and those of Princess Kate has gone viral on TikTok.
The clip, taken from Meghan’s 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, has struck a chord amidst Kate’s recent cancer diagnosis.
This video serves as a timely reminder of the need for unity and compassion.
What did Meghan Markle say about Kate Middleton?
The viral clip, which has garnered over 78,000 likes and 415,000 views, features Meghan’s heartfelt plea to both fandoms, urging them to abandon the “polarity” that has fueled years of online warfare.
“If you love me, you don’t have to hate her. And if you love her, you don’t need to hate me,” the Duchess of Sussex said, addressing the alleged rift between herself and Kate.
Meghan’s words, though well-intentioned, seemed to have little effect in the years following the interview, as the online battles between the Sussex Squad and Kate’s supporters continued unabated.
However, the resurfacing of the clip in the wake of Kate’s cancer announcement has reignited the call for unity and empathy.
In a recent statement, Kate revealed that she had undergone major abdominal surgery in January, initially believed to be non-cancerous.
However, subsequent tests revealed the presence of cancer, prompting her to undergo preventative chemotherapy.
“This, of course, came as a huge shock,” Kate shared, adding that she and Prince William have been processing the news privately for the sake of their young family.
As Kate continues her courageous battle against cancer, Meghan’s appeal for peace between the two fandoms has taken on a new significance.
The viral video serves as a reminder that, in times of adversity, unity and compassion should prevail over divisiveness and online trolling.
