Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are channeling their sadness into action.
On Wednesday, April 23, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined families in New York City to open The Lost Screen Memorial, a moving exhibit honoring children who died as a result of social media's hazards. The exhibit, created in collaboration with the Archewell Foundation, contains 50 cellphones with lock screen photographs of the children who were remembered.
"These are families that we have been working with for several years," Meghan, 43, said during the event, according to People. "No matter how polarised the world is… one thing that we can all agree on is that our children should be safe."

The pair held a private vigil at the exhibit and spoke with bereaved parents, many of whom are members of Archewell's Parents' Network. A virtual version of the monument contains voice greetings and narrative about each photo.
When asked for parenting advice, Harry didn't hold back. "Keeping your children away from social media is the most straightforward solution... "Life is better without social media," he explained. "But obviously, enough isn't enough. "Enough is not being done."
Meghan underlined the need of taking this message global. "It is a universal truth that our children are in harm's way by what's happening online," she stated. She continued: "What we see through these parents is the hope and promise of something better."
