Prince Harry says term "Megxit" is misogynistic

Prince Harry recently spoke about his exit from the royal family along with his wife Meghan – calling the commonly used term "Megxit" misogynistic. The prince spoke about the term, used in the media to describe the pair's 2020 move to the U.S., during a panel discussion Tuesday.

"The term 'Megxit' was or is a misogynistic term that was created by a troll, amplified by world correspondents, and it grew and grew and grew onto mainstream media. But it began with a troll," he said during Wired magazine's "RE:WIRED" event, which featured panels of "technologists, scientists, artists, actors, and even some royalty" talking about how to build a better future.

Harry also cited a study that found more than 70% of the hate speech about Meghan on Twitter could be traced to fewer than 50 accounts – but said misinformation is not just a social media problem, it's a media problem.
