Overview
- Wille Rydman, Finland’s minister for social affairs and health from the Finns Party, posted an Instagram selfie with Meghan taken at a WHO dinner in Geneva.
- The image drew criticism online over Rydman’s political record, leading Meghan’s team to issue a public clarification.
- Her spokesperson said she did not know Rydman and only agreed to the photo as she left the venue.
- The WHO-hosted meal included more than 25 ministers and delegates, which her team said makes background checks on photo seekers not possible.
- Earlier at World Health Assembly events, she urged action on children’s online harm in a 10-minute address and met bereaved families.
