Prince Harry shifts focus from noble cause to please Meghan Markle

Prince Harry received backlash for shifting attention from a noble cause by showering praise on his wife, Meghan Markle, during his latest appearance.

The Duke of Sussex recently addressed a room full of next-generation philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, artists, and impact leaders from around the world at the annual NEXUS Global Summit.

Among other meaningful topics, Harry also opened up about creating a safe digital space for children and other social media users.

The Duke of Sussex mentioned that he and his wife Meghan Markle are supporting and highlighting the growing issue via their foundation, Archewell.

Harry recalled, "...my wife in 2018 was the most trolled person in the world. "So there was a lived experience in that."

While discussing the former working royal's comments, Daily Express royal reporter Pandora Forsyth claimed that King Charles' youngest son did not make it to the headlines due to the cause he supports.

She said, "If you think back to a few years ago, if Harry was appearing in New York, it would be sort of like front page headlines. But he does so many of these conferences and appearances now, it sort of seeps into the background."

Pandora shared that Harry spoke about Meghan's years old trolling to the present times where children are committing suicide due to digital harm.

She added, "He is trying as best he can to link back to actually quite a noble cause, which is children who have unfortunately and very tragically committed suicide… part of the reason is because of online trolling."

"But this was in 2018, and if he keeps on linking it back to this, then I sort of think it takes away from the really important matter at hand. And now the headline is actually Meghan. And not that," Pandora stated.
