Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are doing everything possible to protect families and prevent the influence of online hatred.
These two royal figures seem to know a lot about receiving hate, especially from the British press due to their past battles within the royal family. The couple, who have two children, Archie and Lilibet, have launched their own project called «Parenting Network». Harry noted in an interview with CBS: «I think one of the scariest things we’ve learned over the last 16−17 years, with the existence of social media, and especially recently, is that it can happen to anyone».
He continued: «We always talk about back in the day when your kids were under your roof, you knew what they were doing; at least they were safe, right? And now they could be in the next room with a tablet or a phone and diving into these rabbit holes. And before you know it, within 24 hours, they could be contemplating suicide».
The 43-year-old actress, who has experienced such a level of «trauma», - has been deeply affected by it. She told journalists: «When you’ve experienced some level of pain or trauma, part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is the ability to be open about it… I haven’t fully illuminated my experience yet, but I think I never want anyone else to feel that way. And I never want anyone else to make those plans, and I never want anyone else to not be truthful».
Now that they have children, they see life in a completely different way. Harry and Meghan will continue to help parents who have lost their child due to social media abuse. Meghan shared: «If my openness about what I’ve overcome saves someone or encourages someone in their life to really check in on themselves, and not assume everything is okay because it looks good, then it’s worth it»
