Prince Harry and Meghan finally make the right call - and its about time critics admit it
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made the right decision to focus on a topic close to their hearts, writes Express reporter Lauren Welch.
Whether you are a Sussex fan or not, you could applaud Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's latest work highlighting the dangers of cyberbullying.
The couple, who stepped down as working royals in 2020, have recently launched 'The Parents' Network' - a "safe, free-to-access peer-support network" for families who have lost children to suicide following instances of online bullying.
Available for parents to join in the US, UK and Canada, the network offers "comprehensive advice and resources provided by a licensed facilitator, as well as offering 'invaluable support to those in need".
Although the couple have been known to rock the boat with countless attacks aimed at the Royal Family - as well as slating their time as senior working royals - Meghan and Harry have, this time, made the right decision on the subject at hand.
Despite being a tough topic, the couple have taken it upon themselves to highlight an important issue that is all too often seen as taboo.

As parents to five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibet, Meghan and Harry are fearlessly driven by their own experiences as doting parents. Drawing from their own encounters with online abuse and poor mental health, the couple are seemingly well-equipped to take on such an initiative.
During the interview, which aired in full on CBS yesterday, Meghan voiced her own experience of feeling suicidal during her time as a working royal.
The 43-year-old, who was an official working royal for just shy of two years, previously spoke out about being denied help when she spoke about her struggles back in 2021.
According to the Archewell Foundation's website, the launch states that, as a whole, the couple and the families are "seeking safe, supportive environments where we can talk openly about experiences often kept under lock and key, and forge meaningful relationships with others who understand".
Put aside that the fact that it is Meghan and Harry behind the new launch, 'The Parents' Network' stands in good stead to do exactly what it is meant to do - help those in need - and gain more awareness surrounding the seriousness of online trolling.
