Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are heading back on the road together. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will travel to Brussels on Tuesday, November 10, marking their first joint overseas trip since returning to live in the UK earlier this year.
While there, Harry and Meghan will open the Lost Screen Memorial, the moving installation created with families from their Parents’ Network to remember children whose lives were lost following harms connected to social media.
The couple will also deliver a joint keynote address about protecting children online, while Harry will take part in a panel titled “Beyond Promises: Building a Digital Future That Works for Children.”
The memorial features 50 illuminated displays designed to resemble smartphone screens. Each one carries the lock-screen photograph of a child whose family contributed their story to the project.

In May 2026, the memorial travelled to Geneva’s Place des Nations, where Meghan joined WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and families for its opening. Brussels will now become the latest city to host the installation.
This time, Harry and Meghan will deliver a joint keynote address focused on the need for stronger protections for children online. Harry is also scheduled to participate in a panel titled “Beyond Promises: Building a Digital Future That Works for Children.” The Brussels event will take place at the European Parliament, and this is exactly the kind of work I am glad to see them continuing together.
Behind every one of those illuminated screens is not a statistic or a talking point about technology. It is a child who should still be here and a family now carrying a loss that cannot be repaired.
The memorial makes that impossible to ignore. It is also good to see Harry and Meghan appearing publicly together again after their return to Britain. Their first joint public engagement after the move came in Nottingham on October 15, when they visited several charities. Now they are taking one of their longstanding causes directly to Brussels.

The Parents’ Network brings together families whose children have died or suffered serious harm connected to social media and other online dangers, while supporting their calls for stronger protections and greater accountability from technology companies.
That message deserves attention. Parents cannot monitor every algorithm, every stranger, every piece of harmful content and every hidden corner of an app their child encounters. Companies designing products for millions of young users have responsibilities too.
So yes, it is genuinely encouraging to see Harry and Meghan back together on an international stage. The Lost Screen Memorial asks people to look beyond the technology and remember the children behind it. That is a message worth taking to Brussels.

It is worth recalling and emphasizing that the Parents Network project was initiated by Harry and Meghan (launched in the summer of 2024 through Archewell) and made available free of charge to parents who have lost children, those whose children are still struggling with the impact of social media on their health, and everyone who supports this movement. It serves as a platform for mutual support and concrete action. In January of this year, Harry and Meghan, via Archewell, handed the initiative over to the non-profit organization ParentsTogether, which has since taken on the full operational structure, creative resources, systems, and the Parents Network brand. Harry and Meghan provided financial support to cover a year of operations and contributed funding to existing programs. They remain involved in the project—not just through financial contributions, but by actively participating in ongoing efforts to change the law and hold social media platform owners accountable. It is important to write about this and highlight it, as the media often overlook their work—failing to even mention their financial contributions—despite the fact that this is a long-term campaign they have been leading and working on continuously. Furthermore, it is necessary to document this so that we don’t suddenly hear claims that all of this is actually the work of William and Kate!
As they work not in the service of the Crown but for the people, their projects are full of good deeds that have a genuine and lasting impact. Above all, they are always personally committed, providing support in person, on a human level and with their own money.
