The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out in New York City this evening to attend the annual Project Healthy Minds gala, where they were recognized with a prestigious humanitarian award for their continued advocacy around mental health awareness and emotional well-being.
Project Healthy Minds, a nonprofit organization focused on expanding access to mental health resources and breaking stigmas around seeking help, celebrated the couple’s global efforts through the Archewell Foundation to promote mental fitness, compassion, and community support.
Harry and Meghan have long been vocal about the importance of mental health, from candidly sharing their own experiences to developing initiatives that provide practical tools and open conversations on the topic. Tonight’s honor underscores their ongoing commitment to creating a culture of care and connection.
From People —
Tonight, alongside being honored, Harry and Meghan used the spotlight to announce an important expansion of their advocacy efforts: The Parents’ Network, an initiative under the Archewell Foundation, is partnering with ParentsTogether to strengthen protections for children in digital spaces—particularly in the era of AI. Through this collaboration, the two organizations will combine resources in legislative advocacy, public awareness, and community support to address harmful content and influence emerging online technologies. The partnership underscores how personal this work is to the Sussexes—motivated by their roles as parents—and reinforces how their mission extends beyond mental health into safeguarding youth online.

The Duke and Duchess have supported Project Healthy Minds for several years. In 2023, the couple took part in a panel discussion at the organization’s World Mental Health Day Festival in New York City, where she joined a conversation about how the digital world impacts mental well-being. The event, hosted in partnership with The Archewell Foundation, marked one of the couple’s first public collaborations with Project Healthy Minds. Since then, Archewell has continued to emphasize the importance of creating safer, more compassionate online spaces — a mission that aligns closely with the organization’s efforts to normalize and expand access to mental health care.

Effortlessly elegant and sophisticated. Duchess Meghan is a woman who knows her body and personal style and is confident in whatever she wears. She never overdoes it. Love the rewear of this suit paired with the chunky gold necklace and minimalist earrings. Her hair is pulled softly into a classy ponytail (no big fluffy blowouts here), and her makeup is soft and feminine. Everything is spot on with this look! I love it!
Oh my!! Meghan is stunning and Harry is so handsome!! Their love for each other literally jumps off the picture!! I love this necklace and if I didn’t already have one similar, I would be tempted to purchase but alas 🙂
Yes! Love this-this is vintage Meg-power suit all the way everything for once beautifully tailored and hair in a glam style but soft (not like that high bun in Paris that was just ouch). Jewels are lovely too-black and gold is such a soft power classic combo and she nails it well.
Cannot find fault with this outfit.
Great coverage as always
I absolutely adore this look on Duches Meghan! She looks so chic and this suit is perfectly tailored. ♥️
L and Rachael, I agree with both of you. She looks wonderful when she wears something tailored and I love her hair this time as well. She and Harry make a very handsome couple.
