Allegedly, fans of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have characterized Princess Kate's surgery as a form of "payback" following the couple's strained relationship with the royal family. Richard Eden, Daily Mail's Diary Editor, expressed his displeasure on X (formerly known as Twitter) over the offensive comments against the Prince and Princess of Wales.
"Some of the posts on here about the Princess of Wales's health problems from #PrinceHarry and #Meghan's supporters really disgust me," he wrote.

In response to Eden's post, one supporter agreed, stating, "Well said Richard. It's horrific."
"Richard we’re used to it as they have attacked Catherine for 4 years. The thing is, POW is actually a lovely kind woman and they do it in the name of a fame chaser who has shown time and time again, that she’s not a nice person. Misplaced and ignorant," added another commenter.
For context, Princess Kate underwent a "planned abdominal surgery" on Tuesday, as confirmed by Kensington Palace. A subsequent official statement assured that the surgery was successful, and Princess Kate is expected to remain in the hospital for ten to fourteen days before continuing her recovery at home. Her return to royal duties is anticipated after Easter, according to her spokesperson.
