The revelation surfaced on a Reddit forum, where users praised her quiet generosity. “She gets so much hate and has spoken about the mental health toll… and then you hear things like this,” one commenter noted.

Despite ongoing criticism, Meghan’s supporters continue to highlight her philanthropic efforts, many of which remain undisclosed to the public.
