Meghan Markle has given herself a title that may even be worse than her lifestyle hacks.
On Friday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited Batyr, an Australian youth mental health charity, to speak with teenagers about the damaging effects of social media.
At one point during their conversation, Markle got candid about the online vitriol that has been slung her way for the past decade, which began even before Prince Harry confirmed their relationship in 2016.
“For now, 10 years — every day for 10 years — I have been bullied and attacked,” Markle said in a YouTube video that included snippets of the conversation published by the Royal Family Channel. “And I was the most trolled person in the entire world, man or woman ... but, I’m still here.”
“And when I think of all of you and what you’re experiencing, I think so much of that is having to realize that you know that industry,” Markle said, likely referring to big tech companies like Meta and YouTube. “That billion-dollar industry, that is completely anchored and predicated on cruelty to get clicks — that’s not going to change. So you have to be stronger than that.”
