Harry and Meghan latest: Duke of Sussex breaks silence on Markle's online abuse during surprise appearance at New York Summit
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's distasteful move: Netflix The Crown's PR has been hired by the couple
The internet is filled with potential, but it can be acidic and torturous for some. According to reports, Harry made an unexpected but impactful appearance at the 2025 Nexus Global Summit in New York City, where he opened up about online abuse his wife, Meghan Markle had gone through since the very beginning of their relationship.
How trolls can be toxic?
According to a report published in MARCA, Meghan Markle began facing extreme public scrutiny as soon as her relationship with Harry became public in 2017. After their wedding in 2018, the criticism escalated dramatically. By 2019 it became so unbearable during her pregnancy with their first child, Meghan described the experience as 'almost unsurvivable'.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey and also what we get to see from the Netflix's Harry & Meghan show , she mentioned that she was so bullied by the royal media coverage that there was a point when she was even suicidal.
We all know how the digital age and trolls can be brutal and affect the mental health of people especially for those in limelight. Toxic trolls have the power to completely damage a person's sanity. 'I didn't want to be alive anymore,' Meghan recalled. 'I was up at night just thinking, 'How is all of this being created?'
The MARCA report states, their foundation, Archewell had launched initiatives to improve online safety, encourage responsible tech use, and support mental health, including projects like the 'Lost Screen' memorial, honouring young lives lost to online harm.

Beyond K-dramas and C-dramas: These Malaysian titles are stealing the spotlight on Netflix
These days, Korean and Chinese series and films seem to rule streaming charts, with Indian stories breaking records everywhere as well. As for much of the rest of Asia, it usually lies tucked behind those giants. Yet Malaysian storytelling is slipping out from the shadows, and a fresh batch of shows is grabbing overseas headlines. With Netflix helping these stories get worldwide footprint, a new crop of Malaysian dramas and movies are winning hearts with their plots, rich culture, and performances that linger long after the credits roll. Since 2020, these hits have done more than entertain as they've nudged viewers' beliefs and set them talking. Here are five titles that are pushing the industry in daring new directions. Reversi (2024) Stars: Beto Kusyairy, Shiqin Kamal, Hasnul Rahmat In this tender sci-fi tale, Akid grieves the losses of his past and discovers he can slip between time's cracks. Each return brings moments of warmth, yet he learns a brutal lesson: some wounds refuse to close. By weaving tears with the thrill of time travel, Reversi asks whether real peace lives in rewriting history or simply accepting the story we've been given. Conquer: Lahad Datu (2024) Stars: Syafiq Kyle, Kamal Adli, Fikry Ibrahim When a heavily armed group sweeps into eastern Sabah, Malaysian police call in their top squad to drive them back. Based on real events, the movie revisits the 2013 Lahad Datu standoff, when Sulu gunmen tried to stake a claim and clashed violently with Malaysian troops. This event still looms large in the national memory, a painful chapter marked by casualties and a jarring test of the country's security. Tegkang (2024) Stars: Mohd Syafie Naswip, Michelle Lungan, Pun Ratu Aran Taking its title from a Kelabit word for 'rainbow', this drama is about a man's journey toward finding himself while also showing how lives can turn in surprising ways. Burned out and creatively adrift, photographer Hanafi flees to Bario, a quiet Sarawak highland village, hoping solitude will revive his camera eye. There he meets Rinai, an easy-going local who guides him through everyday routines and nudges him back towards art. As their bond grows, they uncover an old mystery that reshapes Rinai's sense of self and changes both of them forever. The Ghost Bride (2020) Stars: Peijia Huang, Kang Ren Wu, Ludi Lin Set in 1890s colonial Malacca, The Ghost Bride follows Li Lan, a young woman who has been offered a way to save her debt-ridden family - by becoming the ghost bride to a wealthy family's deceased son. But what seems like a lifeline quickly turns sinister as she becomes entangled in a chilling murder mystery with supernatural forces far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Babah (2024) Stars: Qi Razali, Cristina Suzanne Stockstill, Farhanna Qismina Sweet This film is about the heartfelt journey of Isyak and his daughter Maya, whose unbreakable bond is tested by life's many trials. Over the years they face several heartbreaks - Isyak loses his job, Maya is struck by Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and Isyak himself goes deaf - yet their love and resilience shine, showing that even in darkness family can light the way forward.
