Meghan Markle Makes Rare Comment About Protecting Her “Amazing” Children, Archie and Lili

This weekend, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will appear on CBS News Sunday Morning for an interview with Jane Pauley.

In the conversation, which coincidentally airs on Markle’s birthday (August 4), the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “talk about the perils of social media, online bullies and how they’re hoping to help families impacted by online harm,” per CBS News. They will also discuss a new program called the Parents Network, launched via their Archewell Foundation.

In a clip promoting the appearance, Markle makes a rare comment about her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. “Our kids are young. They’re three and five. They’re amazing,” Markle said. “But all you want to do as parents is protect them. And so, as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there, and we’re just happy to be able to be a part of change for good.”

Elsewhere in the teaser, Prince Harry says, “At this point, we’ve got to the stage where almost every parent needs to be a first responder. And even the best first responders in the world wouldn’t be able to tell the signs of possible suicide.”

The interview will air this Sunday on CBS at 9 a.m. eastern, and will also stream on Paramount+.

The interview comes on the heels of the news that Harry and Meghan will travel to Colombia ahead of a summit around ending violence against children. According to the Vice President of Colombia, Francia Márquez, “The Archewell Foundation, founded by The Duke and Duchess, is renowned for its global leadership in fostering a safer online environment. The forthcoming conference will unveil a comprehensive framework for creating safer physical and digital spaces, tackling issues such as cyberbullying, online exploitation, and the mental health impacts of these threats. It will offer actionable solutions and commitments for countries around the world. During their visit, The Duke and Duchess, as well as The Archewell Foundation, will engage in several activities related to this important topic.”
