SAN FRANCISCO, January 10, (THEWILL) – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have decided to abandon social media after they claimed that they had an ‘almost unsurvivable’ amount of abuse on the platform.
According to reports, Harry and Meghan stopped posting on their Sussex Royal Instagram and Twitter accounts last year as they hinted that they could quit the sites.
A source close to them disclosed that the Royal couple will not use the media to promote their new Archewell Foundation and they also have no plans to return in a personal capacity.
Prince Harry and Meghan have always spoken out about the abuse they get online on social media as they promote their ‘progressive’ new roles in the US.
THEWILL writes that the couple had signed a £100million deal with Netflix to produce TV series, films and children’s shows for the streaming service.
The duo became disturbed with social media after they got ‘hate’ posts online when they were royals but they still enjoy attention on Netflix and Spotify.
In a post to their Sussex Royal account in March, the couple wrote, “As we can all feel, the world at this moment seems extraordinarily fragile.
“Yet we are confident that every human being has the potential and opportunity to make a difference—as seen now across the globe, in our families, our communities and those on the front line—together we can lift each other up to realise the fullness of that promise.”
Meghan has earlier mentioned about being ‘the most trolled person in the world’ on the Teenager Therapy podcast and she disclosed that experiencing abuse while pregnant made her feeling ‘isolated’.
“I’m told that in 2019 I was the most trolled person in the entire world, male or female. Now, eight months of that I wasn’t even visible — I was on maternity leave or with a baby. If people are saying things about you that aren’t true, what that does to your mental and emotional health is so damaging. That’s so big, you can’t even think of what that feels like,” she said.
