A second added: “That sounds about right. They are so self focused they don’t consider the consequences of their words.”
A third wrote: “I think you’re right Richard, although it’s a danger they live with daily.”
However, others hit back at the royal reporter over the tweet.
Security needs to be stepped up as a result
One shared: “What an incredibly irresponsible thing to say! Do you have any evidence to back this up or are you just trying to paint a target on the Sussexes and increase their security risks because you don’t like them?”
Another tweeted: “I genuinely worry that Richard Eden constant unfounded criticism of the Duchess of Sussex has increased through the years the danger of attacks against her. Security needs to be stepped up as a result.”
A third added: ‘So H and M shouldn’t report racism aimed at them. Ok…”
