A Facebook user said, “Megsie you sad little thing. you will do anything for media attention!” and another wrote, “Does this woman not see that she is making an absolute fool of herself in order to get noticed? Just an absolute moron! She needs some pills!”

A person remarked, “LOW LIFE MEGHAN MARKLE,” whereas an individual wrote below the People article, “Another day, another story about this nobody.”

But a fan of Meghan said, “I think she is a beautiful person. Of course I have never met her, but all of her haters haven't met her either.” A second fan shared, “Meghan always showing up with kindness. She really is a wonderful human being.”

“Such a kind gesture!” another comment read. 

Another comment was "Meg is so authentic. A true American heroine! Not like that Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie only uses her Baroness title in London, when she's trying to make dinner reservations. She's clearly doing it all wrong! She should be more like Meg, and demand that her friends and staff address her by her correct title! Maybe they should bow & curtsy to her while they're at it! It's the American way!"
