She tagged a Meghan fan page into a post on Monday, writing: “This is more than just a women’s day !!! @meganmarkles 
.”
But after seeing some of the responses from her former followers, she wrote: “I’m so happy that people are deciding to unfollow me because I’m supporting @sussexroyal & @meganmarkles.
“Thankyou , vibes don’t lie so take your energy elsewhere . They are brave and should be applauded for that.”
Refrerring to Harry she added: “He saw his mother go through hell because she wasn’t accepted, now he is protecting his family.”
Patsy went on: “If people are learning lessons , they are learning for us all , if we all speak up when we feel more supported to do so we all win and the evil that dorrounds bully’s lose .
“More people stay alive , less people are trapped in situations they feel unsafe in.”
Not everyone agreed with the star’s assessment, with one follower telling her: “I think your wrong here… two sides and they have both already contradicted themselves.”
Patsy is far from short of followers even after some logged off – with 321,000 still enjoying her posts showing off her kids and new glam life in the States.
The actress swapped the UK for California after leaving EastEnders and now lives in a jaw-dropping mansion overlooking the ocean.
She headed to the States in 2014 with cabbie husband Richard Merkell to raise their kids Fenton, 19, Emilia, 18, and Bertie, nine in the US.
The star has often popped up on Instagram while the UK has been in lockdown doing DJ sets from her Malibu mansion.
She occasionally returns for TV appearances including a brief return to EastEnders in 2019 and as Butterfly on The Masked Singer last year.
