Meghan Markle will travel to Geneva this weekend for the unveiling of The Lost Screen Memorial, a poignant tribute to young people who have died as a consequence of digital harm.
The Duchess of Sussex will appear at the ceremony on Sunday evening at Place des Nations, where she will be joined by WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and other senior global health figures.
The event takes place on the eve of the 79th World Health Assembly, the WHO's annual gathering where delegates establish international health priorities.
During the inauguration, the duchess will honour the children commemorated in the installation while calling for enhanced worldwide safeguards to protect young people in digital spaces.

The memorial comprises 50 illuminated lightboxes standing 4.5 feet tall, each one displaying a mobile phone lock screen belonging to a child whose life was cut short by online violence.
These screens represent the very images that parents once saw whenever they reached for their own devices, a haunting reminder of lives lost.
Archewell Philanthropies, the charitable foundation established by Prince Harry and Meghan in 2020, developed the installation alongside The Parents' Network, an organisation bringing together bereaved families who campaign for safer digital environments for young people.
The memorial first appeared in New York City last month as part of the No Child Lost to Social Media initiative.

Those gathering for Sunday's ceremony include Dr Tedros, Geneva Mayor Alfonso Gomez Cruz, health ministers attending the Assembly, international advocates for child safety online, and relatives of the children whose memories are preserved in the exhibition.
Amy Neville, who leads The Alexander Neville Foundation and serves as an ambassador for The Parents' Network, will deliver remarks to the assembled dignitaries and guests. Her own son, Alexander, features among the 50 children remembered in the memorial.
The Parents' Network was established through Archewell to unite families who have experienced devastating losses or serious harm to their children through social media platforms.

LATEST ROYAL NEWS:
The installation aims to draw attention to the measurable and preventable dangers children face online, encompassing cyberbullying, grooming, sextortion, exposure to content promoting self-harm, and emerging technologies that lack proper safety measures.
Visitors to Place des Nations will be able to view the memorial around the clock throughout the duration of the World Health Assembly, with the exhibition remaining in place until Friday, May 22.
A digital companion experience at lostscreenmemorial.org accompanies the physical installation, allowing people to hear each child's story as recounted by their parents.
