In their second television interview on American soil since their explosive 2021 conversation with Oprah Winfrey, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex discussed a new initiative aimed at safeguarding children from online abuse.

The interview, aired on CBS with Jane Pauley, follows the recent launch of their ‘Parents Network’, designed to assist parents in protecting their children from cyber abuse.

Since their contentious departure from the Royal Family and relocation to the US in 2020, the Sussexes had anticipated a warmer reception stateside, despite their Oprah interview causing a stir on both sides of the Atlantic.

Although initially well-received in America, the ex-Royals have seen their popularity decline recently. They faced further backlash last month when Prince Harry accepted the ESPY Pat Tillman Award.

The decision sparked public outrage and criticism from Pat Tillman’s mother, who expressed her frustration to the Daily Mail, saying she felt “shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award”.
