Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are no strangers to the harsh reality of online bullying. Ever since their union, dealing with the dark side of the virtual world has become part and parcel of their daily lives. While they could not protect themselves from it, despite stepping away from social media entirely, the Sussexes' experiences have fueled a strong drive within them to build a safer online space for everyone, with a special focus on parents and kids.

In their journey, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have taken another big step to help parents like themselves shield their children from cyberbullying and other internet nightmares.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, through their Archewell Foundation, have recently launched a platform for parents, called The Parents' Network. The platform is designed to support parents dealing with the harm caused to their children by social media, whether directly or indirectly. To talk more about the initiative, the couple sat for an interview with CBS Sunday Morning’s Jane Pauley. 

Markle and Prince Harry discussed how they aim to make social media safer for children. The Duchess also shared her own experience with social media bullying, the toll of which even motivated her to take some self-destructive paths. "I would never want someone else to feel that way," spoke the former actress of her dark phase with the internet. Markle also addressed her children in the interview.
