Meghan Markle says she was “the most trolled person in the entire world” for a decade, framing her remarks as a warning about the dangers of social media during a youth mental health visit in Australia.

Meanwhile, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert raised eyebrows after responding to a question about “King George” rather than King Charles.
