The event was co organised by Meghan’s Archewell Philanthropies,

For the night, the Duchess of Sussex wore a black suit over a black cami.

“Behind me stands The Lost Screen Memorial,” she began in her speech . “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. Whose future once felt limitless.”


She continued: “Now their faces ask the world questions we can no longer avoid: How many more millions of children will be harmed by products that, while innovative, are still designed without sufficient safeguards? When will children be able to enjoy the extraordinary potential of technology without it compromising their wellbeing?”
