The Duchess of Sussex blasted comments as she made a speech and said 'wrap your head around why people would be so hateful – it is not catty, it is cruel'
The Duchess of Sussex said we have lost our sense of humanity on social media, as she recalled the “cruel” comments aimed at her while she was pregnant with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan led a keynote speech on International Women’s Day titled Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On And Off The Screen, alongside speakers including US actress Brooke Shields.
“You just think about that and really wrap your head around why people would be so hateful – it is not catty, it is cruel.” The former Suits actress said she found it “disturbing” that women were “spewing” hatred at each other online, adding: “I cannot make sense of that.” “I think that is the piece that is so lost right now what is happening in the digital space and in certain sections of the media – we have forgotten about our humanity and that has got to change.” Meghan said that when she was 11 she wrote to Procter & Gamble and got an advert changed, from saying dishwashing liquid was for women, but for people all over America.
Shields joked: “This is one of the ways we’re different, when I was 11 I was playing a prostitute,” recalling her starring role in 1978 film Pretty Baby. During the session, Meghan also emphasised that “representation matters”.
