All eyes were on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on Sunday, August 4th – which also happened to be the former Suits actress’s 43rd birthday! – as their interview with Jane Pauley for CBS Sunday Morning finally aired.
It marked the couple’s first joint interview in three years, following their bombshell conversation with Oprah Winfrey back in 2021.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex discussed their Archewell Foundation‘s new initiative, The Parent Network, which supports parents of children who have suffered from the negative effects of social media. They also discussed what it’s like parenting their children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
The American Riviera Orchard founder spoke candidly about addressing her mental health (and her previous suicidal thoughts) with Oprah back in 2021, and said that the new Parent Network initiative aims to protect children with similar struggles.
“I believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, has been being really open about it,” the Duchess of Sussex said on the CBS interview.
“I would never want someone else to feel that way, and I would never want someone else to be making those plans, and I would never want someone else to not be believed,” she continued, adding: “So if me voicing what I have… overcome will save someone, or encourage someone in their life to genuinely check in on them…then that’s okay, I’ll take a hit for that.”
Prince Harry also went on to talk about the need to protect children from online bullying, saying: “We always talk about, in the olden days, if your kids were under your roof, you knew what they were up to. At least they’re safe.”
He added: “But now, they can be in the next door room on a tablet or a phone and could be going down these rabbit holes. And before you know it, within 24 hours, they could be taking their life.”
