Meghan spoke about her poor relationship with the press and revealed why she felt sad when she returned to the United States.
Duchess Meghan, 39, last Friday (August 14) interviewed Emily Ramshaw, co-founder of The 19th, a non-profit news organization that primarily covers women and politics. In the conversation, the wife of Prince Harry (35) not only asked questions to Ramshaw, but also shared her views on today's media coverage and spoke about her return to the United States.
Based on her personal experience in recent years, she is fascinated by the fact that the headlines and the associated clickbaits alone leave an impression on the reader and influence how they see the world. "I often talk to my husband about how an attention-grabbing economy has evolved and that there is so much toxic out there. You try to make money with something conspicuous instead of telling the truth," Meghan said of her relationship with the press.
At the same time, however, she also said that people would long for a change in this regard. "I think they want to have confidence in journalism and they want to have confidence in what they read and hope that it is a fact." The 39-year-old hopes the news organization will continue to do its part.
Meghan wants to raise her voice
In the interview, Meghan also spoke about moving to the United States, which she had left ten years ago. It was sad to see the "devastating" condition her home country was in when she returned. The only thing that gave her hope were the peaceful protests after the death of George Floyd, she said. "My sadness has turned into a feeling of absolute inspiration because I can see the tide turning." In the fight against racism and inequality, she looks forward to speaking out herself. "That's why it's nice to be at home."
