Surpassing:Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Share Rare Family Update During First Joint Interview in 3 Years

Prince Harry and SurpassingMeghan Markle are working to create a safer world for kids, including their own.

The parents of Archie Harrison, 5, and Lilibet Diana, 3, made rare comments about their family while discussing the dangers of the internet in an upcoming joint interview, their first since the couple's bombshell sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

"Our kids are young," Meghan told CBS Sunday Morning's Jane Pauley in a preview clip, shared Aug. 1. "They're amazing. But all you want to do as parents is protect them."

Which is why the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are taking part in a new initiative The Parents Network—in association with their Archewell Foundation—which supports adults whose children have been impacted by social media.

"As we can see what's happening in the online space," the Suits alum continued, "we know that there's a lot of work to be done there and we're just happy to be a part of change for good."

Indeed, Meghan and Harry—who know very well the negative role the internet can play—are stepping in to share their resources.

"We've got to the point where almost every parent needs to be a first responder," Harry explained in the interview, set to air in full Aug. 4. "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."

It was during the couple's previous interview with Oprah that Meghan shared that—amid constant public scrutiny as a member of the royal family—she struggled with suicidal ideation.

"I just didn't want to be alive anymore,” she said at the time. “And that was a very clear and real and frightening and constant thought...I thought it would solve everything for everyone."

"I was ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry, especially because I know how much loss he's suffered," Meghan shared, referencing the death of her husband's mom Princess Diana. "But I knew that if I didn't say it, then I would do it."

For his part, Harry—who witnessed the intense scrutiny around his mom—feared his wife would share a similar path with Diana.

"My biggest concern was history repeating itself, and I've said that before on numerous occasions, very publicly,” he told Oprah. “And what I was seeing was history repeating itself, but more, perhaps—or definitely far more dangerous, because then you add race in and you add social media in."

Ultimately, the couple stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2020 and relocated their family to Southern California.

At the time of her interview with Oprah, Meghan said she was sharing her private struggle to help others who might be in a similar position. Adding that she wanted people to remember that "you have no idea what's going on for someone behind closed doors. You have no idea."
