Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were honored as 'Humanitarians of the Year' at a gala in New York, organized by Project Healthy Minds, recognizing their advocacy for mental health and online safety. The couple received praise for their work through the Archewell Foundation and their public efforts to address the impact of technology on young people, with Meghan voicing concerns about children growing up in a digital age and Harry highlighting the dangers of social media. Their award sparked controversy, with critics questioning their contributions compared to Prince William and Catherine, who were lauded for their humanitarian initiatives and emotional engagement with mental health issues in the UK. The timing of the award coincided with Donald Trump being passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize and Prince William's moving public appearance, fueling debate over the selection of the Sussexes for the honor. Amid the celebrations, Harry also faced scrutiny over his involvement with African Parks, following allegations of financial misconduct by the government of Chad.
