During her keynote speech on Women's Day, Meghan Markle showcased strength as she addressed her struggles, particularly the online hate she faced during her pregnancies.
The Duchess of Sussex participated as a keynote speaker at the SXSW panel discussion titled "Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen."
Highlighting the impact of cyberbullying, Markle revealed, "The bulk of the bullying and the abuse that I was experiencing in social media and online was when I was pregnant — with Archie and with Lili — and with a newborn with each of them."
Body language expert Judi James noted Markle's resilient demeanor at the event, emphasizing that she sent out a message of resilience and fight-back.
Moreover, Markle took the opportunity to praise her husband, Prince Harry, who was present in the audience, for his unwavering support.
Acknowledging Harry's role, she stated, "My husband is such a hands-on dad and such a supporter of me and our family," underscoring the blessing of having such support, which many people lack.
Markle's empowering message of resilience and gratitude resonated strongly with the audience, reflecting her determination to overcome challenges and stand strong amidst criticism.
