US talk show host Sheryl Underwood, a known supporter of Meghan Markle, has taken a significant step by personally apologizing to Kate Middleton amidst the controversy and speculation surrounding the Duchess of Cambridge's health.
Underwood, who had previously been vocal in her defense of Meghan Markle, found herself embroiled in conspiracy theories concerning Kate Middleton, especially after the Princess of Wales announced her cancer diagnosis recently. Admitting her regrettable involvement in perpetuating these rumors, Underwood posted a video of her apology to Kate Middleton on her Instagram account.
Expressing her remorse on 'The Talk', Underwood stated, "I felt ashamed... I contributed to the conversation. And I want to apologise to Princess Kate personally on my behalf." This apology comes after her staunch support for Meghan Markle following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey.
During the recent episode of her show, Underwood further remarked, "I want her to forgive me, because I am ashamed of myself and I’m a grown woman, and I should have had a little bit more discretion."
This heartfelt apology by Underwood has sparked discussions about whether Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who have previously made comments that may have upset Kate Middleton, might also consider extending their apologies. Such gestures could potentially ease the prevailing tensions and provide support to the royal family during their challenging times.
Underwood's sincere apology has garnered widespread admiration from viewers and fans alike. Many took to social media to commend her for her accountability and humility. One viewer wrote, "Your heartfelt apology speaks volumes of the kind of woman you are. People these days don’t want to admit they’re incorrect." Another commented, "This is a great model of how to take accountability, humbly apologise and ask for forgiveness. More of this in the world."
Yet another supporter added, "Kudos to Sheryl for taking responsibility. We never know what someone might be going through."
