Meghan Markle Speaks at Lost Screen Memorial Unveiling in Geneva

Meghan Markle spoke at the unveiling of the Lost Screen Memorial art installation in Geneva, Switzerland, on Sunday. The installation features 50 illuminated lightboxes, each displaying a photograph of a child who died as a result of cyberbullying or other digital harms.

“Behind me stands The Lost Screen Memorial,” Markle stated. “Not statistics. Not avatars. Not data points. Children. Each name belonged to a child who was loved beyond measure. A child whose laughter once filled a kitchen. Whose shoes once waited by a front door.

” She described how children are shaped by systems designed to capture attention at any cost, including relentless algorithms, exploitative engagement, and exposure to harmful content. Markle urged parents to limit their own social media use and to contact elected officials to request laws protecting youth.

The exhibition was created by Archewell Philanthropies and The Parents’ Network. It was first displayed in New York City in April 2025 and will remain on view through the 79th World Health Assembly, which ends Friday. ” She said social media companies are not incentivized to stop harassment because the industry is anchored on cruelty to generate clicks.

Prince Harry was not present at the Geneva event. The couple’s foundation, originally launched in 2020 as Archewell Foundation, was rebranded to Archewell Philanthropies five years later.
