Meghan Markle will leave Harry and children in US to visit Switzerland

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, will not accompany Meghan Markle when his wife travels to Geneva this weekend.

The couple's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will stay with their dad in California as the former Suits actress undertakes a foreign visit.

The Duchess of Sussex is travelling to Switzerland for the unveiling of The Lost Screen Memorial, a poignant tribute to young people who have died as a consequence of digital harm.

Meghan Markle wiill appear at the ceremony on Sunday evening at Place des Nations, where she will be joined by WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and other senior global health figures.

The event takes place on the eve of the 79th World Health Assembly, the WHO's annual gathering where delegates establish international health priorities.

During the inauguration, the duchess will honour the children commemorated in the installation while calling for enhanced worldwide safeguards to protect young people in digital spaces.

The memorial comprises 50 illuminated lightboxes standing 4.5 feet tall, each one displaying a mobile phone lock screen belonging to a child whose life was cut short by online violence.

These screens represent the very images that parents once saw whenever they reached for their own devices, a haunting reminder of lives lost.

Archewell Philanthropies, the charitable foundation established by Prince Harry and Meghan in 2020, developed the installation alongside The Parents' Network, an organisation bringing together bereaved families who campaign for safer digital environments for young people.
