Meghan Markle and Harry Shine at World Mental Health Day
New York, NY - October 10, 2023 - Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made a grand entrance at a World Mental Health Day event in New York City today. The royal couple arrived in a seven-vehicle convoy, accompanied by a NYPD escort, five months after an incident they referred to as a 'near catastrophic car chase' in Manhattan.
The event marked the first in-person appearance of the Duke and Duchess for their charity, the Archewell Foundation. Meghan, 42, exuded elegance in a strapless white blazer paired with matching white pants and heels. Prince Harry, 39, looked dapper in a navy suit. The couple initially appeared joyful upon their arrival but grew somber as the panel discussion began. Parents who had experienced tragic losses related to their child's social media use took the stage to share their stories.
During the emotional event, Harry and Meghan revealed that they had been working behind the scenes with these parents for a year, aiming to create a supportive community of shared experiences. The couple later expressed their gratitude to the parents who shared their stories, acknowledging the difficulty of being physically present at the event.
"I can't start without thanking all of the parents, the mothers and fathers who have been here today, physically and on this journey for the last year, creating this community of shared experience," Harry stated during the event.
Meghan also expressed her concerns about the impact of social media on their own children, stating, "As parents, though our kids are really young, they're two and a half and four and a half... but social media is not going away."
The event emphasized the importance of creating a safer online world for children and teens. The couple discussed initiatives that are driving positive change and shared personal experiences with parents who have faced tragic losses due to their child's social media use.
Before the event, Harry and Meghan visited the Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn, which offers an alternative to traditional four-year colleges, focusing on preparing young adults of color for careers in the tech sector within one year. The couple also participated in a mindful meditation session with students.
Today's event, titled "The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age," featured notable guests, including Today show host Carson Daly and US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, who joined Harry and Meghan in their advocacy for mental health care.
Harry and Meghan's appearance at the event came with heightened security, as they arrived in a fleet of blacked-out vehicles accompanied by an NYPD escort. The heightened security measures were in response to their previous encounter with aggressive paparazzi in May, which they described as a 'near catastrophic' car chase.
However, questions still linger regarding the severity of the incident. While the couple's spokesperson asserted they endured a 'relentless pursuit lasting more than two hours,' New York police officials downplayed it, describing it as 'a bit of a chaotic scene.'
The couple's commitment to mental health advocacy has been evident in their past endeavors, with Prince Harry even co-creating an Apple TV+ documentary, "The Me You Can't See," dedicated to addressing mental health struggles. Meghan has expressed concerns about the impact of social media on society and has been vocal about the need for change.
In a separate event, Prince William and Princess Kate hosted a youth-focused Mental Health Day event in the UK, emphasizing the importance of understanding emotions and building positive relationships. Kate wore a pair of star-shaped earrings given to her by a grieving mother in memory of her daughter, who tragically took her own life at the age of 17 after struggling with depression.
In her speech, Kate praised young people for their efforts in breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, stating, "Today, more people feel empowered to talk about their mental health than ever before. This is a major step forward."
Both events underscore the ongoing efforts of the British royal family to raise awareness and promote positive change in the field of mental health.
