Per Hello!, the prince’s speech took place at a dinner in Los Angeles where the families had gathered.
Protecting kids from cyberbullying and the harms of social media is a cause near and dear to the hearts of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In fact, just this month, they posted an important message on the topic on their personal website, Sussex.com.
They wrote, “Through their philanthropic efforts in the online harms space spanning six years of dedicated learning, listening, and advocacy, Prince Harry and Meghan, today, recognize the pivotal moment taking place this week as it pertains to families seeking truth, justice and safeguards for children and communities around the world.”
“Families devastated by online harm have waited too long for this moment… This week, social media companies are starting to face accountability across the world.”
The accountability the duke and duchess are referencing? “In Los Angeles, Meta and Google face the first jury trial examining whether social media companies deliberately designed their platforms to addict children.”
