‘I was the most trolled person in the entire world in 2019,’ says Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex during a conversation with the Teenage Therapy Podcast admitted that she was the most trolled person last year, as per a CNN report.

Meghan along with her husband Prince Harry engaged in an interview with the podcast to raise awareness for the World Mental Health Day.

“I’m told that in 2019 I was the most trolled person in the entire world-male or female. Now eight months of that I wasn’t even visible. I was on maternity leave or with a baby but what was able to just be manufactured and churned out, it’s almost unsurvivable. That’s so big you can’t even think about what that feels like because I don’t care if you’re 15 or 25 if people are saying things about you that aren’t true what that does to your mental and emotional health is so damaging,” she said.

The Teenage Therapy Podcast, hosted by five teenagers from California used Instagram to reveal the involvement of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

“In honor of World Mental Health Day, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down with us for a conversation about prioritizing mental health, removing the stigma around the issue, and how we can all contribute to a healthier world: physically, mentally, emotionally, holistically,” they wrote.

According to CNN, the Duke and Duchess recorded the episode in person, as all of them were seen wearing masks in a picture posted on the group’s social media accounts.

Meghan expressed her thoughts about online bullying and isolation. “Even though our experience is unique to us and obviously can seem very different to what people experience on the day to day, it’s still a human experience and that’s universal,” she said.

“We all know what it feels like to have our feelings hurt. We all know what it feels like to be isolated or othered. And I think that’s why the work you guys are doing here is so important … that people know there’s someone to talk to. You’re not alone in any of it. We’re all figuring it out.”

Prince Harry on the other hand spoke about vulnerability as a strength. “It’s very easy to be sucked in and consumed by negativity but we all have a choice to be able to cut that out of our lives. Hate-following has become a thing. We don’t need to do that … for me I made the choice not to read it, not to see it and to remove myself from that and to very much focus on the uplifting and hopeful side which most of that I get from your generation.”
