"I am shocked, horrified, dismayed and disgusted by all the nasty comments about the Princess of Wales today. A woman's hair is very personal to her, it's armour, defence, confidence and so much more," McKnight wrote in an Instagram message. _ Kate Middleton has taken on a reduced workload to focus on her health ever since she revealed her cancer diagnosis. While some people thought her hair could be a wig due to undergoing chemotherapy, Sam McKnight said it's no one's business. "I cannot believe how evil and lacking in any kind of empathy are the comments, the majority made apparently by other women, attacking a vulnerable other young woman, who has no choice, by dint of who she married, and the role she took on, to bravely face the public," McKnight wrote. _ Sam McNight pointed out that Kate Middleton probably wants to "be away from the public arena" during this time, but she is continuing to carry out royal duties. _ Still, Kate Middleton continues to support the royal family. "She has brilliantly and quietly, unselfishly represented our country, the soft power we still have as a nation," Sam McNight stressed. "Cancer affects individuals differently, but is life-changing for everyone. So FFS LEAVE HER ALONE. SHAME ON YOU."
