Prince Harry has revealed that he thinks his wife, Meghan Markle is "the most trolled person in the world". According to Archewell Foundation's website, the 40-year-old was speaking at the Nexus Global Summit in the Big Apple on June 27 in front of 350 next-generation philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, artists, and impact leaders.

According to the organisation's website, the event brought together more than 350 of the world's "most influential next-gen philanthropists, impact investors and social innovators" to "tackle global challenges and shape a better future for 2025 and beyond".

Speaking to Rachel Gerrol, who is the co-founder and CEO of NEXUS Global, Harry revealed why he decided to set up a foundation in fostering community and combating social isolation, both online and offline, with Meghan.

He said: "It wasn't something that was sexy, it wasn't something that we were necessarily passionate about, but 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."

He then added: "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."

Speaking of why the digital world is important to them, he added: "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"."

At the same event, the Duke of Sussex appeared to take a subtle swipe at his family after urging attendees to "take care of each other and our children in the future" and to "tackle the systems instead of the symptoms keeping us down."

Appearing alongside her husband on the Teenage Therapy podcast in 2020, Meghan said: "...in 2019, I was the most trolled person in the entire world - male or female"

She then added: "'[For] eight months of that, I wasn't even visible, I was on maternity leave with the baby - but what was able to be manufactured and churned out, it's almost unsurvivable, it's so big you can't even think what that feels like."

After speaking of their experiences, Harry then added that "every single one of us" should be talking about our mental health.
