Meghan Markle ‘talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world,’ charity boss says

Meghan Markle said she is “one of the most bullied people in the world,” according to the founder of a teen advocacy group. However, sources who spoke to The Post refute the claim.

Markle, 43, recently visited Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara to take part in a just-launched digital wellness program called Social Media U. The program will be rolled out nationwide with the support of #HalfTheStory, a teen advocacy group focused on “digital wellbeing movement for the next generation.”

The expansion of Social Media U will be funded by Meghan and Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation, along with the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation and Melissa French Gates’ Pivotal Ventures. 

At the Oct. 2 event in Santa Barbara, described as “a screen-free afternoon of games, friendship bracelets and coloring,” Meghan joined forces with Girls Inc. CEO Stephanie J. Hull and #HalfTheStory founder Larissa May to speak about their own experiences with social media.

While speaking with Vanity Fair in a story published Friday, May said that during the event, “Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world” as they were doing “an activity where we talked through a bunch of scenarios.”

“We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally.”
