The couple have spent years raising concerns about social media, particularly its impact on young people’s mental health, and have consistently supported families who have shared their experiences publicly.
Prince Harry’s Emotional Words to Families
Just weeks before the verdict, Prince Harry met with families involved in the case and spoke candidly about their fight. He described it as a “David versus Goliath” battle, acknowledging how difficult it is to take on powerful corporations.
“Today, the truth has been heard and precedent has been set,” he said.
He went on to reflect on the emotional strain of such legal battles:
“I’ve been in some similar situations myself – vastly different – but when you’re sitting in court and if you have that feeling of just overwhelming emotion, because you can’t believe that the people on the other side are saying what they’re saying – that by the very nature of defending what they’re defending, the lies that they are stating, is devaluing life, is devaluing your children’s lives – if that brings stuff up for you, it is totally normal. Do not feel ashamed.”
