Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, is speaking out this week to whine that she has been “bullied” relentlessly “every day for ten years.” She made these comments as she and Harry are in Australia for what experts are describing as a “faux royal tour.”
Meghan Whines About Bullying
On Thursday, the third day of their Australia trip, Meghan and Harry visited batyr at Swinburne University of
Technology. This is an Australian youth mental health charity that focuses on preventative education and early intervention. Batyr typically works with young people to both reduce stigmas and encourage them to reach out if they need help.
While talking to young people who are helped by the charity, Meghan complained that she has been “bullied and attacked” on social media every day for the past decade. She went so far as to describe herself as being “the most trolled person in the entire world.”
Meghan, 44, whined that social media companies are “not incentivized to stop” this alleged abuse. She added that she can “speak to that really personally. Which is why I like to listen, because it rings true for me in a very real way.”
“For now, 10 years, every day for 10 years, I have been bullied and attacked. And I was the most trolled person in the entire world,” she told a classroom of young people. “Now, I’m still here.”
“And when I think of all of you and what you’re experiencing… I think so much of that is having to realize that you know that industry, that billion-dollar industry, that is completely anchored and predicated on cruelty to get clicks — that’s not going to change,” Meghan continued. “So you have to be stronger than that.”
Harry, 41, was quick to agree, saying that social media has “led to so much loneliness for so many people.” He went on to talk about his own experience seeking therapy.
“I waited until I was literally in the fetal position, much older, lying on the kitchen floor,” Harry said. “Until I was like, okay maybe this therapy thing — maybe I should try it.”
Royal Experts Rip Meghan And Harry
This comes as royal insiders are slamming Meghan and Harry for embarking on a “faux royal tour” of Australia. They’d previously traveled to Australia for an official royal tour in 2018. Two years later, they stepped down as senior royals. They then moved across the world to Southern California, where Meghan was born and raised.
“The palace is unhappy about these rent-a-royal tours because it blatantly disregards the late Queen’s very specific instruction that there can be no half-in, half-out for the Sussexes,” Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube’s “Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered,” told Fox News.
“All they are doing in Australia is monetizing their titles and clinging to royal relevance, even though most of Prince Harry’s family refuse to take his phone calls,” she added. “The purpose of the Australian tour is monetary, but it is also to look like royals because the world has rejected Harry and Meghan as reality stars and podcasters. Their relevance remains through their proximity to the British royal family. The royal family thinks it’s disrespectful.”
British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard was quick to agree.
“This faux royal roadshow elevates the Sussex brand while undermining the very institution that gave them the platform,” she argued. “The Australians are asking: Who exactly is this tour for?”
Palace Aides Likely Annoyed
Buckingham Palace declined to comment when contacted, as Meghan and Harry are not working royals. Royal writer Robert Jobson, author of “The Windsor Legacy,” believes that palace aides are likely extremely annoyed by their trip.
“I’m sure [Buckingham Palace] would prefer that Harry and Meghan weren’t going. But there’s not a lot they can do about it. They have no control,” Jobson told Page Six. “There will undoubtedly be a sense of confusion about what Harry and Meghan are there for … this trip may stick in the gullet of the palace.”
“They yearn for the catnip of attention,” one palace source added of the couple.
In the years since they stepped down as senior royals, Meghan and Harry have become seen as extremely controversial figures. They can whine about “bullying” all that they want to, but if they want the online discourse about them to end, they could always step out of the spotlight.
In the end, everyone would likely forget about them and leave them alone if they started living the private life that they claim to crave. However, it seems that privacy is never what Meghan and Harry wanted at all, so this likely won’t be ending anytime soon.
