- Double interview on the fight against cyberbullying
Prince Harry (39) and Duchess Meghan (42) will speak in an upcoming double interview on US television about their fight against hate on the internet and cyberbullying. CBS network has announced this in a short preview. It is an exclusive conversation for the "CBS News Sunday Morning" format, to be broadcast on August 4th. It will also be available to stream via Paramount+. It is currently unclear whether the interview will be available on the platform in Germany.
In the interview with moderator Jane Pauley (73), it will reportedly be about the work of the Archewell Foundation founded by Harry and Meghan, especially about helping families affected by online hate. Was the 4th of August deliberately chosen as the release date for the recorded conversation? Duchess Meghan will celebrate her 43rd birthday on the coming Sunday.
"But all you want to do as a parent is protect them"
Harry and Meghan have been married since 2018 and live with their children, Archie and Lilibet, in Montecito, California. "Our children are young, they are three and five years old - and they are amazing," Meghan says in the conversation with a smile. But then she turns serious: "But all you want to do as a parent is protect them. From what we can see online, we know there's still a lot of work to be done, and we're just glad we can be a part of making that change for the better."
"If the children ask for help, you hope someone is there to give it," says Pauley. Harry chimes in: "If you know how to help." We've reached a point where almost every parent should know how to be a first aider.
Harry and Meghan build "first-of-its-kind support network for parents"
The conversation will reportedly focus on an initiative of the Archewell Foundation. Under the "Supporting Parents" section on the Archewell homepage, it says that they have created "the first-of-its-kind support network for parents" whose children or families have been affected by online-induced suffering, such as on social media. The program aims to support parents who have lost children or whose daughters and sons are struggling with mental health issues.
The goal is to build a global community that supports each other and wants to create a safer online world. It is "a place for parents to meet, heal, and contribute to ensuring that no families around the world will suffer loss or harm in the future by sharing their stories."
In the upcoming interview on CBS, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan will discuss their work with the Archewell Foundation, specifically their initiative to combat online hate and cyberbullying, which affects their young children. During the conversation, Meghan emphasizes the desire to protect her children from online harm, expressing that there's still a lot of work to be done in this area.
The interview also touches on the Archewell Foundation's "Supporting Parents" program, which aims to create a global community to help parents whose children have been affected by online-induced suffering. This first-of-its-kind support network hopes to provide a safe space for parents to share experiences and work towards creating a safer online world.
