Meghan Markle revealed at the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit in Washington on Tuesday that she has a “complicated relationship” with social media, explaining that while she recognizes its role in business, she approaches it cautiously. When asked if she would be joining TikTok soon, the Duchess said, "I don't know". Notably, after her engagement to Prince Harry, Markle stopped using social media to comply with British royal family traditions, but she returned earlier this year with the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which she frequently promotes online.
Meghan Markle discussed the hazards of social media and the work she and Prince Harry do to address them. She explained that she spends significant time focusing on online harms, particularly protecting children, not only their own but all, from potential risks in the digital space. While she remains careful, Markle again acknowledged the value of using social media when it can contribute positively.
