- Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are giving a rare double interview.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan to discuss their fight against online hate and cyberbullying in an upcoming double interview on US television. CBS network has announced this with a short preview. It's an exclusive conversation for the "CBS News Sunday Morning" format, to be aired on August 4th. It will also be available to stream via Paramount+. Whether the interview will be accessible in Germany via the platform is currently unclear.
In the interview with host Jane Pauley, they will reportedly discuss the work of the Archewell Foundation, which they founded, particularly the help they provide to families affected by online hate. It's unclear if the 4th of August was chosen as the release date for the recorded conversation on purpose, as Duchess Meghan will celebrate her 43rd birthday on that Sunday.
Harry and Meghan, married since 2018 and living in Montecito, California with their children Archie and Lilibet, want to protect their children. "Our children are young, they're three and five years old - and they're incredible," Meghan says with a smile. But then she turns serious: "But all you want as a parent is to protect them. From what we can see online, we know there's still a lot of work to be done, and we're just happy to be a part of driving that change for the better."
Pauley says, "If the children ask for help, you hope someone is there to give it." Harry interjects, "If you know how to help." They've reached a point where nearly every parent should know how to be a first aider.
Harry and Meghan are building "the first support network of its kind for parents." On the Archewell homepage, under "Supporting Parents," it says they've created "the first support network of its kind for parents" whose children or families have been affected by online suffering, such as in 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, interconnected community that supports each other and strives for a safer online world. It's "a place for parents to meet, heal, and contribute to ensuring that no other families around the world suffer loss or harm in the future by sharing their stories."
It's yet to be confirmed if viewers in Germany can stream the interview with Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan on Paramount+. The initiative by Harry and Meghan, known as "the first support network of its kind for parents," aims to help families dealing with online hate and cyberbullying, regardless of their location.
