Prince Harry comes out in support of Meghan Markle yet again

Prince Harry has come out in support of his wife Meghan Markle yet again as the duke attended an event without her in New York.

According to the Archewell Foundation, Prince Harry spoke to a room of 350 next-generation philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, artists, and impact leaders from more than 70 countries at the annual NEXUS Global Summit.

He discussed the impact of service and everyone’s role in shaping stronger communities to solve the issues of disconnection and social isolation and the impact it has on people globally.

The Daily Mail reported the duke also spoke about the thinking behind the setting up of their foundation in fostering community and combating social isolation, both online and offline.

Archie and Lilibet doting father explained that they wanted to help address an issue by tackling the root cause of it, and came across the online world and digital space.

He said: “It became very clear to us very quickly, speaking to a lot of experts, that for all the work we are collectively doing, and all the progress we are achieving - if the digital world is not done responsibly, it's going to turn back that progress. And we can see that with climate change.'

Harry went on saying, “We started to meet a lot of parents who had lost their kids to social media - the majority through suicide - and that's when it really started to make sense to us.”

Prince Harry also mentioned the duchess and apparently extended support to her, saying “One of the reasons why the digital world was so important to us is because my wife, in 2018, was the most trolled person in the world. There was a lived experience, but at no point did we suddenly think "OK, well, let's take this industry on".'
