“I Was The Most Bullied Person In The World” — Meghan Markle Breaks Down As She Champions A Brave New Mission To Save Girls From Online Hate

In a deeply emotional and powerful appearance, Meghan Markle has once again stepped into the spotlight — not for royal drama or celebrity headlines, but to shine a light on a crisis affecting millions of young girls across the globe: cyberbullying.

The Duchess of Sussex recently paid a heartfelt visit to Girls Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young women, where she spoke candidly about the toxic digital landscape facing the next generation. The visit, which was part of a mental health awareness initiative, aimed to help teenage girls navigate the emotional chaos triggered by social media.

Joining forces with HalfTheStory founder Larissa May — a pioneering advocate for digital wellness — Meghan took part in a series of intimate conversations and thought-provoking activities with the girls. One particular exercise stood out: a group scenario session where participants were asked to reflect on how to respond to online hate and pressure. It was during this session that Meghan opened up about the deep scars of her own experience.

“We did an activity where we discussed a series of possible scenarios,” Larissa shared after the visit. “Meghan also talked about how she was one of the most bullied people in the world.”

Those words stunned the room into silence.

For Meghan, it wasn’t just an abstract topic. It was personal. She knows the sting of digital hate, the burden of public criticism, and the lonely agony of being misunderstood. And she’s turning her pain into power.

In a groundbreaking move following the meeting, Meghan announced a new partnership between her team, Oprah Winfrey’s philanthropic foundation, and Girls Inc. Together, they are launching Social Media U — an ambitious new program designed to combat cyberbullying at its root and arm young women with the knowledge and strength to protect themselves online.

“This is about giving girls the essential tools to thrive in the digital age,” Meghan explained. “It’s about fostering healthier, more balanced relationships with technology — so that they feel empowered, not broken by it.”

The curriculum will include digital literacy, emotional resilience, mental health support, and guidance on managing online interactions. It’s a proactive step toward healing a generation often defined by likes, shares, and relentless pressure to be perfect.

But this isn’t the first time Meghan has spoken out against online abuse. In a previous interview last August, her voice trembled with emotion as she recalled the overwhelming bullying she endured during her years in the public eye:

“I never want anyone else to feel that way,” she said. “I don’t want anyone else to plan that. I don’t want anyone else to feel like they can’t be trusted.”

That vulnerability — raw, real, and rare in a world of carefully curated images — resonated with millions.

Now, with Social Media U, Meghan is taking her trauma and transforming it into a movement. She’s not just telling young women to rise above the hate — she’s building them a ladder.

As Meghan continues her mission, one thing is clear: She’s no longer just a duchess or a media figure. She’s becoming a force — for change, for healing, and for the girls who need her voice the most.

And in a world that often silences the victims, that voice is louder than ever.
