Prince Harry says Meghan Markle 'was most trolled person in the world' during surprise appearance in New York

Prince Harry addressed the issue of online harassment targeted at his wife, Meghan Markle, during a surprise appearance at the 2025 Nexus Global Summit in New York.

“One of the reasons why the digital world was so important to us is because my wife, in 2018, was the most trolled person in the world,” the Duke of Sussex said while talking about how to combat social isolation online for “a better future for 2025 and beyond.”

“There was a lived experience,” he added, per the Daily Mail.

Harry, 40, explained that it became “important” for him and Markle, 43, to focus on the “digital world” through the Archewell Foundation after “meet[ing] a lot of parents who had lost their kids to social media — the majority through suicide.”

“That’s when it really started to make sense to us,” he continued.

The “Spare” author shared that people’s “compassion can shrink” as their “lives become harder.”

Markle started to face public scrutiny when she got engaged to Harry in November 2017 and married the following May.

During her tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, the “Suits” alum recalled contemplating suicide after seeing negative headlines about herself.

“I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” she shared, explaining that she “didn’t see a solution.”

“I would sit up at night, and I was just like, ‘I don’t understand how all of this is being churned out,’” Markle added.

The Duchess of Sussex and Harry stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 amid drama with several members of the royal family.

They then relocated to Montecito, Calif., where they live with their kids: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Markle later shared that she hadn’t even “scraped the surface” of being bullied during her interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” in August.

That October, Markle opened up about being “one of the most bullied people in the world,” Larissa May, the mental health founder of #HalfTheStory, told Vanity Fair.

Sources, however, told The Post that the actress commented on “her experience with online bullying” with May rather than being “the most bullied person in the world.”
