Meghan Markle has spoken out against bullying during a visit in California that poses a special link to her daughter, Princess Lilibet.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, spoke about being “one of the most bullied people in the world” during a poignant solo visit to a youth organisation in Santa Barbara earlier this month.
The royal joined a group of teenagers at on October 2 for an afternoon of games and a discussion about their experience growing up in the digital age.
The event also held a special place in Meghan’s heart, as her charity’s partnership with Girls Inc. took place in 2021 – which is the same year that Lilibet – now aged three – was born.
Meghan took part in the event alongside Girls Inc. CEO Stephanie J. Hull and #HalfTheStory founder Larissa May, with Ms May telling Vanity Fair about the event.
She told the publication: “We did an activity where we talked through a bunch of scenarios, and Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world. We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally. With Stephanie and Meghan, we talked about what it really means to grow up in this digital age.”
