Overview
- Meghan Markle joined WHO Director‑General Dr. Tedros in Geneva on Sunday to inaugurate The Lost Screen Memorial ahead of the 79th World Health Assembly.
- The installation shows 50 illuminated phone lock screens of children who died from digital harm, created by Archewell Philanthropies with The Parents’ Network and displayed at Place des Nations during World Health Assembly week.
- In prepared remarks she called online risks a public‑health issue, criticized “relentless algorithms” and exploitative engagement, and urged parents and lawmakers to push platforms to make children safe by design.
- She spent time with bereaved families featured in the exhibit, embracing attendees and recognizing advocates such as Amy Neville whose children’s stories anchor the memorial.
- A mirror selfie posted a day earlier showing daughter Lilibet helping her get ready drew criticism from some commentators who questioned the optics, even as others praised the family moment.
