This Daily Mail editorial was being interpreted today as a not so veiled threat to Meghan Markle and you can see why.

Don’t get too carried away with this feminist business, alright love?

Here’s what people made of it online.

The only thing missing is a Princess Diana reference.

Never one to defend The Fail, but this is correct. The Royals should absolutely not talk politics. I do however think that everyone should be allowed to express opinions, and that is one of the reasons I am a republican.

Feminism isn’t political, it’s a bare minimum.

Admirable, yes, but may we, might we, in a way not to put a mark against senior management's names when gong time comes around, most humbly, respectfully, suggest, that if you start spouting Chomsky shite we'll splash on any vaguely erotic photographs we can get our claws on? https://t.co/17nmSSaj4o

Like how today's Daily Mail has made Meghan Markle sound like an ambitious football manager who's just taken charge of a team that's been struggling for the past few seasons: pic.twitter.com/NVSU8XsitI

I can’t imagine why a racist newspaper like the Daily Mail would have it in for Meghan Markle

But if that’s what the Mail thinks about Meghan Markle’s views about feminism, you should see what their readers are saying. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

COMEDOWN: The days after a wedding are always tricky; the confetti is swept away, the gifts opened, the guests gone home and real life creeps back in.

Also, hundreds of newspaper readers start hurling abuse at you because they’ve heard you’re a feminist. It happens to all of us. pic.twitter.com/9q5WdfABZV
