Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Advocate for Online Safety Measures in New York City

Published on 4.25.25

  Prince Harry has been vocal about his concerns regarding online safety, particularly for children, calling it "unacceptable" that technology companies are not doing enough to protect them. In a poignant display of solidarity with grieving parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended a private vigil for families who have lost their children to online harassment. The event was held in New York City, where the couple also unveiled the "Lost Screen Memorial", a tribute to the lives of children lost to online harm. The parents of these victims, including those from the UK, have filed lawsuits against Meta and other platforms, demanding change and protesting the companies' profits. Their stories are a testament to the urgent need for safer online spaces. For instance, some parents shared images of their children who were as young as 11 years old when they took their own lives due to exposure to suicide-glorifying content on social media. The couple's efforts are not without controversy, with some critics accusing them of hypocrisy given their own use of social media. Nevertheless, their commitment to changing the narrative around online safety and mental health is a crucial step towards creating a safer digital landscape for all.
