'The Crown' actress Meg Bellamy alleges online bullying and body shaming, claims to be slammed for playing Kate Middleton

While playing Kate Middleton in the sixth and final season of Netflix's "The Crown," actress Meg Bellamy, 21, has been the target of online bullying because of her weight. During an interview with 'Mail' on Sunday's 'You' magazine, Bellamy disclosed that she was subjected to body shaming and bullying on social media, with some even stating she was "too fat to play Kate." When she checked her phone, she claimed to have received a lot of remarks criticizing her appearance, as per the reports of the New York Post.

Negative comments
Bellamy talked about how these negative remarks affected her. She stated that men who had profile pictures of themselves holding fish were the ones who made the most of the negative comments. After realizing the pointlessness of the remarks made on social media, Bellamy decided to keep her distance from them.


Progressing in a positive manner
Bellamy maintains a positive outlook and concentrates on the several wonderful opportunities she has had despite the online bullying. She thinks she is having her greatest life and views the trolls as "losers". To get ready for the part, Bellamy binge-watched countless hours of Middleton footage and grew to love her, as reported by the New York Post.

"The Crown” 's sixth season focuses on Middleton's early relationship with Prince William. However, the royal couple had no intention of watching the event, according to royal biographer Robert Hardman, who wrote "The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy". Prince William reportedly finds the portrayal offensive, but he doesn't voice his disapproval in public to avoid making the drama more widely known.

Prince Harry's point of view
On the other hand, Prince Harry revealed to Stephen Colbert that he had seen the series and verified the information. He thinks that a truthful portrayal of history is essential. William, on the other hand, is said to be "sickened" by the show's inclusion of Princess Diana's spirit and feels that it is exploitative. Despite these responses, Middleton and William have refrained from making any remarks about "The Crown."
