Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reveal fiercely protective nature towards 'amazing' Archie and Lilibet

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sitting down for their first joint interview in over three years, after their bombshell conversation with Oprah Winfrey in early 2021.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, fresh after announcing they will be going on a royal tour of Colombia later this year , joined CBS anchor Jane Pauley for a conversation.

The royal couple are launching a new initiative called The Parents Network through their Archewell Foundation, which aims to support parents whose children have been impacted or harmed by online media.

"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," Meghan stated.

Harry also asserted that it was most vital to spread awareness among parents, who are the "first responders" in these situations and most capable of helping their kids in stressful times like these.

"At this point, we've got to the stage where almost every parent needs to be a first responder," he mentioned. "And even the best first responders in the world wouldn't be able to tell the signs of possible suicide. That is the terrifying piece of this."
