Meghan Markle breaks silence on being ‘attacked’ ever since marrying Prince Harry
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry quit their royal duties in 2018
Meghan Markle just opened up about her life and the scrutiny she has on her life during her and Prince Harry’s final night in Australia.
The Duchess of Sussex was the featured guest on the first night of a girls' weekend retreat hosted by Her Best Life podcast on Friday.
Friday night kicked off with "an intimate gala like no other," where the 44-year-old former royal, took the stage for a Q&A with Her Best Life co-host Gemma O'Neill.
Prince Harry and Meghan's pal Markus Anderson, crashed the all-girl party to support Meghan during the chat, with the Duke of Sussex greeting her with a kiss and helping her on stage.
The Daily Telegraph reported that, during their chat, Meghan opened up to O'Neill about "enduring" attacks for more than 10 years.
She said that while the past decade has included some of her happiest moments, marrying Harry and welcoming their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, it's also been "very hard" being "attacked through it all."
She added that people’s criticisms of her were more reflective of their own “projections.”
The Duchess of Sussex also snapped pics with guests at the event before she and Harry were off to attend a rugby match as their last event in Australia before heading home.
Earlier in the week, Meghan spoke with a youth mental health group about social media and well-being where she revealed that she had been “bullied and attacked” every day for 10 years online and was “the most trolled person in the entire world.”
Meanwhile, the Prince was the keynote speaker at the InterEdge Summit on April 16 and shared how he initially wasn't sure about giving the speech, wondering if he was supposed to appear to be someone who "has his s**t together."
"But I was struck by something quite simple — that while my experiences may be unusual, the feelings that come with them are not," Harry said.
The prince admitted that there was a time, after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, when he didn't want to be in the public eye at all.
"I was like, ‘I don’t want this job. I don’t want this role — wherever this is headed, I don’t like it,'" Harry said, as per PA Media. “It killed my mum and I was very much against it, and I stuck my head in the sand for years and years."
"Eventually I realized, well, hang on, if there was somebody else in this position, how would they be making the most of this platform and this ability and the resources that come with it to make a difference in the world? And also, what would my mum want me to do? And that really changed my own perspective,” Prince Harry said in his speech, explaining how the thought of his mother, Princess Diana, influences his decisions.
