Meghan Says She Faced a Decade of Daily Online Abuse as Harry Opens Up on Australia Visit

The couple used a Melbourne stop to press a case against social media’s profit-from-cruelty model.

Overview

  • Meghan, speaking Thursday in Melbourne, said she has endured daily attacks for ten years and called herself the most harassed person in the world.
  • She argued that major platforms make money by stoking cruelty to drive clicks and said people must be stronger than those systems.
  • Prince Harry said social media fuels widespread loneliness and described starting psychotherapy after a severe breakdown at home.
  • He also reflected on Princess Diana’s death and said it led him to reject a royal role, stating that the role killed his mother.
  • High ticket prices for some events drew criticism, though PA reported Harry was not paid for his Melbourne speech and Meghan was not paid for a MasterChef taping during their first Australia visit since 2020.
