During their joint appearance, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a powerful statement regarding internet safety.
In a surprising joint appearance, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are speaking out.
Wearing poppy pins in honor of the U.K.’s upcoming Remembrance Day, which commemorates fallen military personnel, the couple delivered a powerful video speech on Nov. 7 at the first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children in Colombia, emphasizing the significance of children’s online safety.
Nearly three months have passed since they traveled to Colombia in August at Vice President Francia Márquez’s request.
The first-ever ministerial conference on eliminating violence against children is taking place at a crucial moment, the pair said in their statement, underscoring the need of combating digital abuse against children. We are at a critical juncture where awareness needs to be translated into real action, the Duke and Duchess emphasized.
«We are at a crossroads,» Harry stated, adding that it is now more important than ever to review and rethink how we protect children. Although the need has always been clear, the moment has come to turn that knowledge into significant action.
Meghan went on, «My spouse and I acknowledge that the modern world is characterized by increased connectedness and sophisticated technology, which naturally offers a lot of advantages.
