Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's Friend Trolls Kate Middleton For Not Working Amid Cancer Treatment: 'Not Normal'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's supporter Christopher Bouzy is catching flak from royal commentators after allegedly "trolling" Kate Middleton for not returning to public duties as she battles cancer.

In a since-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, the tech entrepreneur -- who was featured in the Sussexes' 2022 Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan" -- questioned why the future queen has not been seen in public since announcing her cancer diagnosis in late March.

"Approximately 9 million women are diagnosed with cancer each year globally. The vast majority of those women do not stop working while undergoing treatment," Bouzy wrote, according to a screenshot obtained by GB News.

He added, "Kate hasn't been seen in public since December, and no matter how much the UK press tries to spin it, it's not normal."

Royal expert and Daily Mail Diary editor Richard Eden slammed the Bot Sentinel founder over his tweet.

Eden wrote on X that it was "disgusting" that Bouzy was encouraging "the new wave of trolling of the Princess of Wales."

Angela Levin, an award-winning journalist and biographer of Prince Harry's, had a similar take.

Speaking to GB News, she claimed that Bouzy was allegedly part of the so-called Sussex squad who are trolling the Princess of Wales amid her cancer treatment.

Levin alleged that Bouzy and other supporters of Prince Harry and Markle "are claiming that Kate is taking advantage of her position."

"He doesn't know her. He doesn't know what sort of medication she's having, and the whole thing is just spiteful," the royal commentator added.

On Saturday, Bouzy took to X to directly respond to Eden and deny that he was taking a dig at Middleton in his tweet.

He also questioned why recent reports said the princess was "leaning" on her mother and siblings during this time but made no mention of her husband Prince William, who was spotted at a soccer game Saturday.

The following day, Bouzy doubled down on his denial and accused Eden of helping perpetuate the online hate aimed at the Duchess of Sussex.

"I am just checking in to see if @richardaeden is still pretending to be outraged about the trolling of Kate that isn't happening while being complicit in the harassment and online abuse of Meghan Markle," Bouzy wrote.

Middleton became the subject of widespread speculation and conspiracy theories earlier this year after she seemingly disappeared from the public eye following her abdominal surgery in January.

The rumors later died down after she released a video message announcing that she was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer and had begun undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

But questions and speculations about her whereabouts were reignited in recent days due to the lack of new images of Middleton or concrete updates on her health.

On Friday, the Daily Beast quoted an unnamed royal source as saying that Middleton "may not appear in public for the rest of the year."

According to the insider, royal engagements are published weeks in advance, but Middleton's 2024 schedule remains "empty."

Amid the concern from royal fans, Prince William -- who has taken on the bulk of the royal duties amid his wife's absence and his father King Charles' own cancer battle -- has continued to share positive updates about Middleton's health.

Asked earlier this month how his wife is doing, Prince William said, "She's doing well," as seen in a video shared by Sky News.
