The internet is filled with potential, but it can be acidic and torturous for some. According to reports, Harry made an unexpected but impactful appearance at the 2025 Nexus Global Summit in New York City, where he opened up about online abuse his wife, Meghan Markle had gone through since the very beginning of their relationship.
How trolls can be toxic?
According to a report published in MARCA,
Meghan Markle
began facing extreme public scrutiny as soon as her relationship with Harry became public in 2017. After their wedding in 2018, the criticism escalated dramatically. By 2019 it became so unbearable during her pregnancy with their first child, Meghan described the experience as ‘almost unsurvivable’.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey and also what we get to see from the
Netflix’s Harry & Meghan show
, she mentioned that she was so bullied by the royal media coverage that there was a point when she was even suicidal.
We all know how the digital age and trolls can be brutal and affect the mental health of people especially for those in limelight. Toxic trolls have the power to completely damage a person’s sanity. “I didn’t want to be alive anymore,” Meghan recalled. “I was up at night just thinking, ‘How is all of this being created?”
The MARCA report states, their foundation, Archewell had launched initiatives to improve online safety, encourage responsible tech use, and support mental health, including projects like the “Lost Screen” memorial, honouring young lives lost to online harm.
