Insults, discrimination and harassment online: Duchess Meghan (39) experienced all of this on the internet last year. Reason enough for her and her husband, Prince Harry (36), to raise their voices.
Last Saturday, on World Mental Health Day, the couple spoke on a podcast about youth therapy. They were interviewed by three teenagers from a high school in Anaheim, California for the “Teen Therapy” podcast.
“If people say things about you that are not true, it is painful for your mental and emotional health,” Meghan reports on her experiences on the topic of hate on the Internet.
Meghan was reprimanded for her origin
He was told that he was the person most persecuted by internet trolls in 2019. Internet trolls are people who deliberately want to anger and hurt other users on social media with insults and demeaning posts. Meghan was exposed to countless hostilities, for example, due to her origin and skin color.
“Social media is a great way to get in touch with other people, but at the same time it also leads to a lack of connection. I speak from my own experience, ”said the Duchess. “They told me that in 2019 I was the most trolled person in the world, man or woman.”
At the time, the former actress was pregnant with her son Archie (1). She says she was exhausted and had not been in public for eight months due to her maternity leave. “But what was manufactured from him in the media is almost impossible to survive.”
Meghan and Harry immigrated to America
The couple wants to draw attention to the topic of mental health by participating in the podcast. “We all know how it feels when our feelings are hurt,” emphasizes Meghan. Help her to meditate regularly. Meditation is the key. I never thought I was a person who needed something like this. A journal is also a very powerful thing. With that I can reflect on where I come from. “
Last March, Meghan and Harry retired from the British royal family. They now live with their son Archie in the United States near Meghan’s hometown of Los Angeles. (paf)
