Harry & Meghan Honor Children Lost to Social Media Harm
5 Nov
Summary
- Couple travels to Brussels for a memorial honoring children harmed by social media.
- The Lost Screen Memorial features 50 smartphone screens with children's photos.
- Meghan and Harry advocate for protecting children from online exploitation.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are undertaking their first joint international journey since their return to the UK. The couple is scheduled to visit Brussels, Belgium, on November 10 to inaugurate the Lost Screen Memorial. This installation is dedicated to commemorating children who have tragically lost their lives due to the harmful influences of social media.
The Lost Screen Memorial, previously unveiled in New York City in April 2025 and later in Geneva in May 2026, comprises 50 smartphone screens. Each screen displays a lock screen photo of a child who died from social media's adverse effects, with images contributed by grieving parents. Meghan and Harry will deliver speeches in Brussels emphasizing the critical importance of digital safety for children, and Prince Harry is slated to participate in a panel discussion focused on creating a safer digital future for youth.
This initiative aligns with the Sussexes' long-standing advocacy for protecting younger generations in digital spaces. They have previously expressed strong concerns about children being exploited online. The couple recently issued a stern statement condemning paparazzi for "extraordinarily reckless" behavior near their children's school in the UK, highlighting their continuous efforts to ensure their family's privacy and safety.
