The Duchess of Sussex broke down in tears as she described the impact of online trolling and receiving death threats. In an emotional moment during the fifth episode of the Hary and Meghan Netflix series, Meghan said negative media coverage had made people say they wanted to kill her.
The episode focused on the couple’s decision to step back as senior royals, and the influence of the British press over their lives. Meghan claimed the media had caused the death threats by creating hate towards her.
She said: “I mean, just a couple of days ago. I was going through the manual for our security team at home. And one of the pages that I happened to flip to, it was about online monitoring, and they were like, “if you see a tweet like this, please report it to head of security immediately” and (the tweet) just said, ‘Megan just needs to die, someone needs to kill her, maybe it should be me’.”
