EastEnders' Patsy Palmer thanks fans for unfollowing her over support for Meghan and Harry

Patsy Palmer blasted her fans for unfollowing her over her support for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The EastEnders actress, who made the move to LA with her own family, celebrated the Duchess of Sussex on International Women's Day on Instagram.

Her supportive words sparked her following to plummet as furious fans didn't share the same views.

As feisty as her on-screen character Bianca, Patsy fired back at her unloyal following on Instagram.

Sarcastically she thanked fans and told them to take their energy elsewhere after she was bombarded with negative comments.

She said: "I’m so happy that people are deciding to unfollow me because I’m supporting @sussexroyal & @meganmarkles.

"Thank you, vibes don’t lie so take your energy elsewhere."

Controversy has continued to swirl around Meghan and Harry after they gave a bombshell chat to Oprah on TV.

The happy couple opened up about making a new life for their family across the pond in the US where they now live in Los Angeles.

They addressed stepping down from Royal duties in 2018 and fleeing the UK.

Patsy applauded the couple's move as "brave" and urged people to applaud them.

She added: "They are brave and should be applauded for that.

"He saw his mother go through hell because she wasn’t accepted, now he is protecting his family.

"If we all speak up when we feel more supported to do so we all win and the evil that surrounds bullies lose. More people stay alive, less people are trapped in situations they feel unsafe in.

"I don’t care Royal or not. I loved the Royal story and still love history but this is another story that’s not Royal at all."

Initially Patsy caused a stir when she celebrated Meghan alongside other stars.

She had originally wrote: "This is more than just a women’s day !!! @meganmarkles @gloriasteinem #dorothypittmanhughes."
