The Duchess of Sussex has said that for 10 years she was the “most trolled person in the entire world” on social media.

She made her comments while speaking to students of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne during her Australia tour with Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.

During this visit, the Duchess met with young people associated with Batyr, a mental health engagement program and she told the group: “And I can speak to that really personally, which is why I like to listen, because it rings true for me in a very real way,” she said. “every day for 10 years, I have been bullied and attacked. And I was the most trolled person in the entire world.”

“When I think of all of you and what you’re experiencing, I think so much of that is having to realise that you know that industry, that billion-dollar industry, that is completely anchored and predicated on cruelty to get clicks – that’s not going to change.

“So you have to be stronger than that.”

The visit was part of a four-day, privately funded trip focused on mental health, veterans’ affairs, and community, where Meghan spoke about her experiences with social media trolling.
