Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were recognised as Humanitarians of the Year at the Project Healthy Minds gala on Thursday night. Held at Spring Studios in New York City, the annual Gala “unites cultural, artistic, business, and civic leaders to champion mental health awareness” with the goal to highlight “the transformative power of community in fostering new conversations about mental health and shaping cultural perspectives.”

The pair have been advocating about the dangers of social media, and while receiving their award gave a speech which included references to their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
“Our children Archie and Lili are just six- and four-years-old. Can you believe it? Luckily, still too young for social media but we know that day is coming, and like so many parents, we think constantly about how to embrace technology’s benefits while safeguarding against the dangers.”
