The opening of the Lost Screen Memorial, which took place in Geneva, featured an installation of 50 illuminated lightboxes, each displaying the mobile phone lockscreen image of a child who lost their life because of online violence and digital harm. It was hosted by the WHO and Archewell Philanthropies, the charitable foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, ahead of the 79th World Health Assembly
It was also run in partnership with The Parents’ Network, a community of bereaved families advocating for safer online spaces for children and young people.
Meghan looked chic in an all-black ensemble, consisting of a black blazer, a black top and a pair of wide-leg trousers.
Her hair was styled in a low bun, while her make-up featured a smoky eye.
But some fans were not impressed with how wide her trousers were and took to social media to criticise her.
One user wrote on X: “These pants are REEEDICULOUS. Is #MeghanMarkle has got to be trolling or joking because they’re awful.
“There’s nothing flattering about these massive bell-bottom/wide-legged pants, and it just adds to her inability to look…nice.”
Another one asked: “What’s with the constant wearing of voluminous pants that drag on the ground???”
A third one said: “That is the most ridiculous side silhouette I’ve ever seen. That is the only word that’s fitting…. RIDICULOUS!”
A fourth one opined: “She suits slim trousers. I was thinking she looked OK for once then clocked the bottoms.”
A fifth one then commented: “She looks ridiculous. Has she ever heard of a hem?”
A sixth one wrote: “Wide-legged pants look ok on very tall people because the pant leg has enough length to gradually flare out. They look ridiculous on her. “
On Sunday, the Duchess urged global health leaders to act to keep children safe online, adding they are being shaped by systems “designed to capture attention at any cost”.
Meghan described children’s online safety as a “public health issue”.
She said: “Children today are being shaped by systems designed to capture attention at any cost: relentless algorithms, exploitative engagement, and endless exposure to harmful content that they are not seeking out.”
