Meghan Markle spoke with striking candour about the years of digital harassment she says she has endured, during a visit to youth mental health organisation Batyr in Melbourne on Thursday. Addressing a group of young advocates at Swinburne University of Technology, the Duchess of Sussex reflected on the long-term psychological impact of life as a global public figure constantly under online scrutiny.
In her speech, Markle also urged the audience to stay strong because social media, which is 'predicated on cruelty to get clicks', is unlikely to change. The engagement focused on the necessity of online safety as Markle and Prince Harry continue their four-day tour of Australia.
