Damian Holbrook, a well-known television critic in the United States, has ridiculed the Royal Family on Twitter. “The royals can eat a bag of d**ks,” his vile tweet read. After Meghan’s former Suits co-star Patrick J Adams initiated a lengthy defense of the Duchess after she was accused of bullying former staff at Kensington Palace, Mr Holbrook made the remark in response.

Mr Holbrook shared the actor’s thread in the Tweet, which was recently uncovered by the Mail on Sunday, and wrote: “Again… yes! The royals can eat a bag of d**ks.”

The aggressive remark was made by the American TV pundit on March 5, only hours after Mr Adams wrote his eight-tweet defense of the Duchess of Sussex.

Palace officials announced that they launched an inquiry into accusations of abuse made against Meghan by Palace staff when she was a resident of Kensington Palace in 2018. The announcement came only days before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Oprah Winfrey interview.

“Meghan Markle and I spent the better part of a decade working together on Suits. From day one she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accrued. She has always been a powerful woman with a deep sense of morality and a fierce work ethic and has never been afraid to speak up, be heard and defend herself and those she holds dear. Like the rest of the world, I have watched her navigate the last few years in astonishment. She fell in love, moved to a new country, became a household name across the entire globe and began the difficult work of trying to find her place in a family dynamic that can at best be described as complicated and at worst, seemingly archaic and toxic.”

“It sickened me to read the endless racist, slanderous, clickbaiting vitriol spewed in her direction from all manner of media across the UK and the world but I also knew that Meghan was stronger than people realized or understood and they would regret underestimating her. And then they welcomed Archie. And on any sort of decent planet that would be a time to stop sharpening the knives and let these two people enjoy the magical early months and years of starting a family. But we don’t live on that planet and instead the hunt continued.”

“It’s OBSCENE that the Royal Family, who’s newest member is currently GROWING INSIDE OF HER, is promoting and amplifying accusations of “bullying” against a woman who herself was basically forced to flea the UK in order protect her family and her own mental health. IMO, this newest chapter and its timing is just another stunning example of the shamelessness of an institution that has outlived its relevance, is way overdrawn on credibility and apparently bankrupt of decency. Find someone else to admonish, berate and torment. My friend Meghan is way out of your league.”

The thread got over 400,000 likes and over 100,000 shares.

Meghan responded to the claims in a highly personal statement in which she refuted the allegations.

Her spokesman said: “The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma.

“She is determined to continue her work building compassion around the world and will keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and doing what is good.”

Her spokesperson called the accusation “a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation”
