Breaking News: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle share new video message: ‘We are at a crossroads…. See More

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have said they’re at a “crossroads” with their work in a joint public appearance for the first time in months.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared in a video message where they discussed prioritizing children’s safety online through their Archewell Foundation.

The video was played at a United Nations conference in Colombia, and marked the first time the couple have been seen together since their trip to Colombia in August.

Addressing global leaders, Harry, 40, highlighted the importance of protecting the younger generation living in the digital age.

“We are at a crossroads,” the father of two said. “The urgency to reassess and redefine our approach to protecting children has become increasingly evident. While the necessity has always been apparent, it’s now time to translate that awareness into meaningful action.”

The Duke of Sussex continued, “While the online world can help develop strategies to protect children from violence, it also introduces new risks, such as from individuals who exploit gaps in our outdated legal systems, which often don’t account for today’s digital realities.”

We know that supporting parents is essential in reducing digital violence against children, that’s why earlier this year we launched the Parents’ Network,” he added.

After glancing at her husband a couple of times during his speech, the “Suits” alum, 43, chimed in, “My husband and I recognize that today’s reality is marked by greater connectivity and advanced technology, which, of course, has many positives.”

However, it also compels us to better understand how digital violence against children is manifesting itself in this age,” she went on.

“At the Archewell Foundation, we engage with young people, families and experts worldwide, learning about how every aspect of a child’s life — from their livelihood to their physical and mental well-being — now operates within an online economy that has both the power to shape and misshape our connections.”

The Sussexes, who have long been advocates for child online safety, have been vocal about their passion for protecting children from harmful content visible online.

In the clip, the former actress can be seen wearing a navy blazer atop a black T-shirt. Harry, for his part, wore a black blazer over a crisp white shirt.

Both proudly displayed a poppy on the lapel of their jackets ahead of Remembrance Day in the UK, which falls on Nov. 11 annually.

The day honors veterans and servicemen who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country in conflicts such as the First and Second World Wars.
