Meghan’s connection with Larissa May began in 2023 when #HalfTheStory was chosen as one of the first organizations to join the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund, a group supported by Archewell. May highlighted Meghan and Harry’s dedication to empowering young people as they navigate the digital world.

“We wanted the teens involved in #HalfTheStory to shape the kind of experience we would create,” May explained. “Ultimately, we felt that building a space of vulnerability was the best approach.”

May also praised the couple’s broader work in the realm of digital well-being. “I know many young women who use social media for joy and inspiration,” she said. “Technology isn’t going anywhere—it’s like food, not a drug, because it plays a crucial role in public health, economic empowerment, and academic opportunities.”

Girls Inc., a partner organization of #HalfTheStory, annually supports around 114,000 girls through its network of 75 locations across the United States and Canada. “Girls Inc. is now in its 160th year,” Hull told Vanity Fair. “It has always adapted to meet girls’ needs, and today, that means addressing safety and well-being in the digital world.”

Meanwhile, Meghan and Prince Harry have remained active in their philanthropic efforts.

Recently, Harry attended the WellChild Awards in the UK and traveled to Lesotho to support Sentebale, a charity helping young people navigate life with HIV and AIDS. Additionally, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited Colombia in August to participate in a conference on building a better digital future.
