How Meghan Markle scored an 'own goal' during Australian visit
Meghan Markle faced criticism for her comments during a visit to Australia, where she claimed to be the 'most trolled person in the world'. The Duchess of Sussex's remarks were seen as reinforcing the view that she frequently plays the victim.
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, visited Australia and spoke to young people at Melbourne's Swinburne University of Technology. She claimed to have been 'bullied and attacked' every day for 10 years and is the 'most trolled person in the world'. Critics argue that her comments reinforced the view that she makes every situation about herself and frequently plays the victim. Meghan's intention was to help young people become more resilient to uncontrollable social media hate. A 2021 report by Bot Sentinel found that just 83 Twitter accounts were responsible for approximately 70% of the hate content about both Harry and Meghan. The couple's visit to Australia included a mixture of public philanthropic engagements and private commercial appearances. They were welcomed by huge supportive crowds. The question remains whether royal circles or the general public will accept their new status as private citizens. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear to be doing what the late Queen banned them from doing during the Sandringham summit of 2020 - being half-in, half-out royals. However, they are now private citizens, not representing King Charles or the monarchy.
