Meghan Markle delivered an emotional speech in Geneva on May 17. She unveiled The Lost Screen Memorial and discussed the detrimental effects of online content on children, including eating disorders.
Critics argue that her speech was a deliberate attempt to be compared with late Princess Diana. A report by Radaronline.com suggests this comparison due to Diana’s public struggle with bulimia nervosa before her death in 1997.
An insider said critics found parallels between Meghan’s and Diana’s speeches, noting the power of these associations. Others close to Meghan insist she was addressing a genuine public health crisis affecting children online.
In her speech, Meghan mentioned Katie, a teenager hospitalized for months due to severe eating disorder. She highlighted how children are influenced by systems designed to capture attention at any cost: relentless algorithms, exploitative engagement, and endless exposure to harmful content they’re not seeking out.
