Meghan Markle talked about being ‘one of the most bullied people in the world’ during surprise visit with teens

Meghan Markle recently opened up about her experiences with bullying, describing herself as “one of the most bullied people in the world.” This comment reportedly came during an event hosted by Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara in collaboration with the mental health advocacy group #HalfTheStory on October 2.

 

Larissa May, the founder of #HalfTheStory, shared insights from the event in an interview with Vanity Fair. She recounted how participants engaged in activities discussing various scenarios, during which Markle made her poignant remark about the impact of bullying.

 

Markle’s reflections resonate with many, especially as she advocates for mental health awareness and support among young girls and teens. Her willingness to share her story underscores the importance of addressing bullying and its effects on individuals.

“We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally.”

 

Page Six reached out to Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation for comment but did not immediately hear back.

 

However, sources told The Post Friday that the “Suits” alum 43, “talked about her experience with online bullying but never claimed she was the most bullied person in the world.”

Markle began supporting #HalfTheStory in 2023 when it was named part of her and Harry’s Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund for their Archewell Foundation.

 

According to Archewell’s website, #HalfTheStory provides programming that discusses body image, friendships, healthy digital habits and safety from 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual predators.

 

The site adds, “Programming will emphasize online safety education, responsible social media engagement, and mental health support, equipping girls with the tools to navigate their environment confidently and resiliently.”
