Photo \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"PIBTdnNRHybHVehKG\" style=\"display:none\">They were also honoured for their attempts to advance mental wellbeing worldwide through their non-profit Archewell Foundation and The Parents Network, which they launched in 2023 to support families impacted by online harm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PIBTdnNRHybHVehKG\" style=\"display:none\">According to People, Harry told the audience: \u201cTonight we\u2019re all here together to focus on what remains one of the most pressing issues of our time &#8230; This is a pivotal moment in our collective mission to protect children and support families in the digital age, and we cannot do it without you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"PIBTdnNRHybHVehKG\" style=\"display:none\">They also spoke about plans to team up with ParentsTogether, a US charity that advocates for online safety for families, with Harry saying: \u201cWe knew this movement needed to grow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PIBTdnNRHybHVehKG\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cThese families are not only up against corporations and lobbyists, many of whom spend tens of millions of dollars every year in suppressing the truth, but also algorithms designed to maximise data collection at any cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"PIBTdnNRHybHVehKG\" style=\"display:none\">Meghan said: \u201cWe know that when parents come together, when communities unite, waves are made. We\u2019ve seen it happen and we\u2019re watching it grow and with your support we\u2019ll continue building a safer digital world for all of our children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PIBTdnNRHybHVehKG\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cSo on behalf of my husband and I, thank you so much for being here tonight. Thank you all of you for your support and thank you for standing with us as we continue this vital work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The couple were honoured with the Humanitarians of the Year award in recognition of their work to make&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1975,1061,24004,26526,156,2082,56682,56684,12858,49610,1073,23493,117,111,139,69,312,1072,6100,56683,1361,6173,2173,4741],"class_list":["post-71533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-at","tag-children","tag-coming","tag-duchess","tag-entertainment","tag-for","tag-gala","tag-glad","tag-knows","tag-markle","tag-media","tag-meghan","tag-new","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-says","tag-social","tag-still","tag-sussex","tag-that","tag-too","tag-york","tag-young"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
