Royal Family News – Meghan Markle Faced ‘Very Real’ Threats In The UK
Anil Kanti “Neil” Basu, the former head of counterterrorism for the Metropolitan Police in London, says that some of the threats that were directed towards Meghan were “disgusting and very real” during a new interview for Channel 4 News.
“I’ve talked publicly for many years about the threat of extreme right-wing terrorism in this country,” he explained. “If you’d seen the stuff that was written and you were receiving it — the kind of rhetoric that’s online — if you don’t know what I know, you would feel under threat all of the time.”
Basu added that several people have been prosecuted for the things they’ve said online about Meghan Markle.
As many fans already know, Meghan has said that she felt like the most bullied person online. She also said during her Archetypes podcast that she’s aware of all the nasty things that have been said about her.

Royal Family News – What’s Next For Meghan?
Meghan said, “Calling someone crazy or hysterical completely dismisses their experience and minimizes what they’re feeling. It keeps going to the point where anyone who’s been labeled it enough times can be gaslit into thinking that they’re actually unwell or sometimes worse, to the point where real issues of all kinds get ignored.”
The Duchess also added that she definitely felt like she was at her lowest point when her husband Prince Harry made a mental health referral on her behalf.
She explained, “My husband had found a referral for me to call. And I called this woman, and she didn’t even know I was calling her… and she was checking out at the grocery store. I could hear the little beep, beep… she could hear the dire state that I was in. But I think it’s for all of us to be really honest about what it is that you need and to not be afraid and make peace with that, to ask for it.”
