The Duchess of Sussex revealed what one of her biggest fears is, when her children are old enough.
In a moving revelation, Meghan Markle has exposed one of her biggest fears regarding her children and the digital world. During a talk as part of World Mental Health Day, the Duchess shared her concern about the impact that social networks and the digital environment can have on the lives of Archie and Lilibet, her two children.

There, Meghan had the opportunity to hear the heartbreaking stories of some families who lost their children due to mental health issues related to social media use.

"I feel lucky that our kids are pretty young, so this isn't in our immediate future, but it also scares me how it continues to change and this will be right in front of us," she revealed during the talk.

This deep fear of Meghan Markle reflects a reality that many parents face today. The digital age has brought with it new challenges in parenting, and concern about the effects that social platforms can have on the mental health of children and young people is increasingly palpable.
