Prince Harry and Meghan opened the Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament in Brussels on November 10, 2026, an event honoring children who lost their lives following online harm. Prince Harry delivered a speech at the Parliament praising the EU Kids Act, a proposed law to regulate how children use online services, saying, "this whole mission has to be about safety by design. By the time that it's on the phone, in an app, in a kid's hands, it's already too late," according to Getty Images News. The Duchess of Sussex withdrew from speaking and did not address the gathering but attended the opening alongside families central to the memorial, according to social posts and coverage. Coverage noted the visit took place despite Britain leaving the EU in 2020, and the couple's appearance came shortly after news of Meghan's father being arrested on suspicion of possessing child sexual abuse images. The Sussexes voiced public support for the EU Kids Act campaign at the event, aligning Archewell Philanthropies' Lost Screen Memorial work with the proposed EU effort to curb online harm to children.
