Meghan Markle, the 42-year-old Duchess of Sass, recently decided to throw some royal shade on the dark corners of social media. Picture her, adorned in the finest crown jewels of common sense, stepping onto the stage at SXSW like the superhero we didn’t know we needed.
Joined by a squad of formidable females including Katie Couric, Brooke Shields, Errin Haines, and Nancy Wang Yuen, Meghan strutted onto the panel like she owned the place. And let’s not forget about her wingman, Prince Harry, chilling in the audience like the supportive royal he is, alongside their buddy Markus Anderson, probably snickering at all the Twitter trolls they’ve encountered.
In her finest royal decree, Meghan proclaimed, “Yes, social media is like that dusty corner of the internet where trolls reside. I’m keeping a wide berth from it for my own sanity. I mean, who needs that negativity? Especially when you’re growing a tiny human inside you.”
She shared her royal wisdom, revealing, “You really have to ponder why on earth people get their kicks from being so vile. It’s not just petty banter—it’s downright mean. And when you’re expecting or have just popped out a royal sprog, it’s a delicate time. You can either let it get to you or channel your inner mama bear and protect your cub—and yourself, obviously.”
Meghan, ever the sage, pointed out that it’s often the sisterhood turning on itself in the wild jungle of social media.
She lamented, “As we dive into the cesspool that is social media, there’s a ton of work to be done to keep people from going full-on crazy. Especially when it comes to the young’uns—protect those little ankle-biters from the digital doom! But seriously, what really grinds my royal gears is how women are often the ones throwing shade at each other. I just can’t wrap my tiara around it. Ladies, we’ve got to stick together!”
Meghan Markle dropped the mic (figuratively, of course), leaving the audience in stitches and the internet trolls quaking in their keyboards. All hail the Duchess of Sass! 🙌
