Meghan Markle breaks silence on heartbreaking social media tragedies

Meghan Markle has once again used her platform to shine a light on a pressing modern issue, the devastating impact of social media on young people and their families. 

Speaking at an event for the Archewell Foundation’s The Parents Network, the Duchess of Sussex highlighted the organization’s mission to support parents affected by social media-related harm.

In a moving speech, Meghan recounted meeting families whose lives had been “absolutely shattered” parents who had lost children to social media-driven suicide and others struggling with depression, anxiety, and self-harm linked to online pressures. 

Giving a special nod to youth advocate Katie backstage, she said, “What we learned in these moments is that these parents didn’t just need therapy; they needed other parents who understood their very specific grief.”

She added that when these families came together, “they weren’t just sharing stories, they were creating a movement.” 

The Duchess showed effortless elegance in a blue and white striped shirt similar of her 2018 Wimbledon look. She paired it with navy high waisted trousers and a tan belt.
