Harry & Meghan make surprise phone calls to young people to thank them for ‘advancing the digital world’

Harry and Meghan surprised young participants of the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund (RTYPF) with heartfelt phone calls, expressing congratulations for their commendable efforts in advancing the digital world. 

The couple, currently residing in their £12 million mansion in Montecito, California, made these thoughtful calls while enjoying their garden. The entire interaction was captured in a video that was subsequently released by the RTYPF.

During the calls, Harry took the opportunity to mention their children, Archie and Lilibet, conveying sincere gratitude for the recipients' valuable work. Meghan also added playfully that although their children might not be aware of it at the moment, they too would be appreciative of the recipients' contributions. 

The central theme of the video was to underscore the critical importance of involving young people in promoting responsible technology use and effectively combating issues like cyberbullying and the spread of misinformation.

The couple's Archewell Foundation played a significant role as a founding member of the RTYPF, which actively supports youth-led initiatives that are passionately working towards advancing responsible technology practices.

In addition to their appearance in the RTYPF video, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have another notable event on their schedule. The couple is set to attend the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf together next month.
