At a SXSW panel also featuring Katie Couric and Brooke Shields, the Duchess of Sussex spoke about the role that women play in making social media harmful to other women.
“What I find the most disturbing, frankly—especially as a supporter of women—is how much of the hate is women completely spewing it to other women. I cannot make sense of that,” she said. “There are women at the highest level, the executive level, who are great champions of women and great philanthropists, working in these spaces, yet they're allowing this kind of behavior to run rampant.
In gray striped silk separates, Meghan also spoke about the work that she and Harry had done to address the impact of social media on teenagers, including meeting with parents who had seen its effects on their own children. Couric, who spoke about her experiences as a woman in journalism, asked the duchess to share her familiar story about the time she protested a sexist soap commercial at the age of 11. Meghan told the story, and reflected on the lessons she learned.
