Meghan Markle’s Friend Condemns Social Media Harassment Campaign

Christopher Bouzy, a longtime friend of Meghan Markle and head of social media analysis firm Bot Sentinel, has strongly condemned the ongoing harassment and conspiracy theories targeting the Duchess of Sussex, particularly following her recent viral video dancing while pregnant. Bouzy highlighted how trolls have weaponized moments from Meghan's pregnancies, including videos and maternity attire, to spread false claims that her pregnancies were faked, describing this behavior as "sickening and cruel." He emphasized the real-world impact of this sustained abuse, linking it to Meghan's past struggles with mental health and suicidal thoughts. Bouzy also warned that beyond the personal toll on Meghan and Prince Harry, such conspiracy-driven harassment damages societal understanding of reality and decency. Despite the mockery in some regions, the dancing video celebrating their daughter Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday has been well-received in the U.S. and among younger audiences, with Meghan reportedly pleased by the positive response. Sources close to the couple view the viral moment as a boost for Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever, underscoring a divide in public perception between the UK and international audiences.
