US EditionPrince Harry thanks bereaved families taking on social media firms
Prince Harry praised bereaved families pursuing a California trial accusing Instagram and YouTube of causing youth mental health harm and being addictive by design.
- On Wednesday, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, thanked bereaved families mounting a legal challenge against Instagram and YouTube, expressing hope for `truth, justice and accountability` as the California trial began.
- Families allege Instagram and YouTube are `addictive by design`, seeking responsibility and protections in the Los Angeles trial, the first of its kind to test these claims.
- During an emotional moment, Prince Harry told roughly 50 bereaved parents, `None of you should be here`, praising their courage in this `David versus Goliath` fight.
- While Meta and YouTube contest the claims, their lawyers reject the allegations, Meta and YouTube remain defendants while TikTok and Snap have settled, and the verdict may affect cases by attorneys for dozens of US states.
- Through their Archewell Foundation, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle launched the Parents' Network to highlight online harms and passed operations to ParentsTogether earlier this year while unveiling the Lost Screen Memorial on March 23, 2026.
