Meghan was in town for her star-studded panel appearance on the opening day of the SXSW festival, alongside actress Brooke Shields and author Katie Couric.
The Duchess of Sussex spoke about “breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes” at the event.
She opened up about her use of social media and opened up about her cyberbullying ordeal while she was pregnant with her children, Archie and Lilibet.
“I’m staying away from this right now for my well-being, but most of the harassment and abuse I was experiencing on social media and online was when I was pregnant with Archie and Lili, and a newborn, each from them”. she said.
‘Just think about it and understand why people would be so hateful. It’s not malicious, it’s cruel. Why would you do that when you are pregnant or as a mother? It is such a tender and sacred moment.
Prince Harry was seen clapping in the front row to support his wife alongside his long-time friend and confidant Markus Anderson.
