Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not planning to return to social media almost a year after Megxit due to the toxicity of the online trolling they have received.

A source close to the ex-royals told The Times of London that theyโ€™re โ€œvery unlikelyโ€ to have an online presence, mostly due to the โ€œhateโ€ they have encountered on social media.

Before the couple broke off from the royal family, social media was a large part of their lives.

The couple had already largely stepped away from such platforms; in October, Meghan said that she had โ€œnot been on social media for a very long time.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve made a personal choice to not have any account, so I donโ€™t know whatโ€™s out there, and many ways thatโ€™s helpful for me,โ€ she said. โ€œI have a lot of concerns for people that have become obsessed with it. And it is so much a part of our daily culture for so many people that itโ€™s an addiction like many others. There are very few things in this world where you call the person who is engaging with it a user.โ€
