The couple released a video showing support for victims of cyber bullying

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of “hypocrisy” with their campaign to reduce the amount of harmful content children can see online.

The couple released a video showing support for victims of cyber bullying where Meghan compared the internet to a car.


“When the car was first invented, there wasn’t a seatbelt. And what happened? People started to get hurt, people started to die. So you started to change the car”, she said.

Speaking on GB News, royal author Angela Levin hit out at the couple, suggesting their words don’t hold much weight due to their “bullying” of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

“They said they are really concerned about children being cyber bullied”, she said.

“You think, good heavens, perhaps Harry shouldn’t have bullied Queen Elizabeth when she was so ill.

“Those last few months of her life, loads said that they were bullying her for money.

“It’s this hypocrisy they have that makes it very difficult to believe them.”

It comes after a US Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on online child safety which took place in Washington this week.

Senior politicians warned social media giants “you have blood in your hands” as they spoke out on suicides and abuse prompted by social media.

Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg stood up and apologised to families who say their children have suffered at the hands of social media.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a video after the hearing which showed their appearance at a World Mental Health Day discussion in New York on October 10 last year.

Harry said in the video: “We need to get out of this idea that young kids, there's something wrong with them.

“No, it's the world that we're allowing to be created around them. Please stop sending children content that you wouldn't want your own children to see.”

Meghan added: “Everyone now is affected by the online world and social media. There is an entry point that's positive and creative community, but we all just want to feel safe.”

In a joint statement accompanying the video on their website, the Sussexes said: “We applaud the bravery and determination of the thousands of parents around the country whose advocacy resulted in this hearing.

“Over the past few years, we have spent time with many of these families, listening to their heartache and their hopes for the urgent change that is needed in the online space.

“This is an issue that transcends division and party lines, as we saw today at the Senate hearing. The best parenting in the world cannot keep children safe from these platforms.

“As one of the fathers shared with us: ‘If love could have saved them, all of our children would still be here’.

”This is not the time to pass the buck of responsibility. It's the time to make necessary change at the source to keep our children safe.”
