Overview

  • Meghan Markle will travel to Geneva to join WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and bereaved families for the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial.
  • Her office said she will pay tribute to the children remembered in the installation and press for stronger global safeguards for kids online.
