Meghan Markle is once again in the headlines after her self-acclaimed title as the “most trolled person” made waves.

The Duchess of Sussex made the declaration during a speech on her recent trip to Australia with her husband, Prince Harry. While speaking about the dangers of social media, she poured her heart out, advising youngsters via her personal experience as a public figure.

Meghan Markle’s life, daily choices, and actions have never shied away from the media, and over the years, she has been the subject of great public scrutiny. This includes her business, growing lifestyle brand, and decisions concerning her family.

Is The Storm Over For Meghan Markle?

Meghan has weathered through the tough times, and her astrology readings affirm that after boisterous storms comes calm. The “Suits” actress shared a post on social media showing the hopeful messages from her horoscope. “Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, & Aquarius ending the hardest seven years of their lives on April 25,” The string of posts on her Instagram stories began.

She shared the message on Saturday, April 25, which featured two men dancing to one of Celine Dion’s all-time hits, “That’s the Way It Is.” The message resonated perfectly with Meghan, whose birthday is on August 4, making her a Leo. The next reading was a knock at her life, the criticism she had dealt with, and the effect it had on her.

“The tension between who you actually are and what the world around you was willing to see has been exhausting in a way that is hard to explain to people who have not lived it,”  it began. Her astrology post continued, reading, “Your confidence took hits it had no business taking. You questioned your creative direction, your spotlight, your worth.”

They sound like words that run deep as a description of what the Duchess of Sussex may have faced since her status switched when she joined the royal family. The horoscope concluded with a positive message highlighting April 25 as an auspicious day. “April 25, the pressure lifts. You get the space to just exist without fighting for it,” signaling a light at the end of the tunnel for Meghan.

The Duchess Of Sussex Has A Love-Hate Relationship With Social Media

According to US Weekly, Royal watchers have speculated that the seven hardest years of her life, as the post pointed out, refers to the pubic scrutiny she has faced since she tied the knot with Prince Harry seven years ago in May 2018. While Meghan uses social media to promote her lifestyle brand, As Ever, she often warns against its use and the dangers associated with online platforms and the younger generation.

On her recently concluded Australian tour, the former Hollywood star gave a speech about how social media has impacted her life over the years. The media personality and her husband spoke to young people during their visit to Batyr, a mental health charity at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne.

She got candid, saying she was “bullied and attacked” online every day for a decade, tagging herself as “the most trolled person in the entire world.” Harry’s speech echoes similar views. He noted that social media has  “led to so much loneliness for so many people” before disclosing his mental health struggles, which led him to seek help in therapy.

The ‘Suits’ Actress Called Out Social Media Companies 

Meghan spiced up her speech at Batyr with words of encouragement as she told her listeners, “Now I’m here,” despite the constant trolls and critics online. Speaking further, she decided to address the issue at the root, highlighting that social media companies were not “incentivized to stop.” 

The Blast reported in an earlier release that the media personality informed her listeners that the clickbait nature of social media was not going to change, hence they had to develop tough skin and become stronger as they navigate the use of online platforms.

“When I think of all of you and what you’re experiencing, I think so much of that is having to realize that you know that industry, that billion-dollar industry, that is completely anchored and predicated on cruelty to get clicks,” she said to the youths. She further noted that she has an ever-listening ear to those going through similar experiences with the media, as they easily resonate with her.

Not Everyone Sees The Mom Of Two As ‘The Most Trolled Person In The Entire World’

Meghan has admittedly had her fair share of one too many bad days in the media, but the title as the person with the most trolls seems to be a stretch to some people, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Right from inside Capitol Hill, the politician spoke with news outlets, saying that the title belongs to President Donald Trump.

Cruz explained that Trump is the most trolled person on the planet, and the former Hollywood star is still in the shadows when it comes to internet trolls. As reported by The Blast, he went on to praise Meghan for her work as an actress, referencing her phenomenal role on the hit legal drama TV series “Suits.”

The Texas Senator emphasized that Trump has seen more online hate, and as such, in his opinion, the title goes to the POTUS. His judgment comes as a no-brainer as he has experience in that department. Cruz noted that he gets trolled as well, but often responds to them with laughs or trolls back.

Meghan Markle Recently Gave Royals Another Reason To Frown

Meghan’s brand, As Ever, recently launched new candles in her candle collection as part of a Mother’s Day celebration. She claimed that two of them were inspired by her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The candles are named No.506 and No. 604, and according to reports, the numbers are not random but linked to her children’s birthdays.

This move, allegedly, does not sit right with other members of the royal house. A source described it as “an outrageous use of their titles,” adding that the late Queen Elizabeth II would not have approved of Meghan incorporating the kids into her business. They stated that the late queen previously stressed that the Sussexes should not profit from their titles after dropping their status as working royals in 2020.

The Blast also reports that the former TV personality had her children’s names, email addresses, social media handles, and domain names all trademarked. Some insiders do not view the trademark move as an issue; however, they have eyebrows raised if Meghan’s intention is to use them for the sale of future goods.
