Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expanding their efforts to protect children from online harms.

The Parents’ Network from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s charitable Archewell Foundation is teaming up with ParentsTogether, a national nonprofit focused on advocating for families and online safety, PEOPLE exclusively reveals.

The groups are joining forces as new research shows the urgent need for enhanced parental support and greater legislation to protect children generation from AI-related harms in a rapidly changing landscape as chatbots become increasingly popular. According to recent research from ParentsTogether, investigators posing as children on AI chatbot platforms experienced harmful interactions every five minutes.

The Parents’ Network began in 2022 as a community of families in the U.S. who lost a child to social media-driven suicide or whose children have struggled because of online platforms, and the new partnership with ParentsTogether will expand the efforts of the network to impact and help more families.

Meghan Markle just returned to Instagram and now the Duchess of Sussex has dropped trailer for her playful new Netflix series.

Mindy Kaling, Alice Walters, Roy Choi and more, along with husband Prince Harry, are aboard With Love, Meghan, which fans can view in the trailer above, as Markle attempts to “reimagine the genre of lifestyle programing.” The eight-part series will launch in a fortnight’s time on January 15 and feature a ream of celebrity guests and friends of Markle’s, along with her spouse.

In the trailer, Markle can be seen cooking, gardening and shopping with friends. The synopsis says the show will see Markle “share personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected.”

With Love, Meghan comes from Markle and Harry’s overall deal between their Archewell Productions and Netflix. The project was revealed by Deadline last year alongside a show about professional polo, which recently launched.

With Love, Meghan is produced by Archewell with Sony Pictures Television-backed The Intellectual Property Corporation. EPs are Markle, Chanel Pysnik, Aaron Saidman, Eli Holzman and showrunner Leah Hariton. Director is Michael Steed.

Yesterday, Markle returned to Instagram after a seven year absence with a video of her running on a beach and inscribing “2025” in the wet sand.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, talk about the perils of social media, online bullies and how they’re hoping to help families impacted by online harm, in an exclusive interview with “CBS News Sunday Morning” anchor Jane Pauley.

“Our kids are young. They’re three and five. They’re amazing,” Markle told Pauley in an interview to air on Sunday, August 4, and streamed on Paramount+. “But all you want to do as parents is protect them. And so, as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there, and we’re just happy to be able to be a part of change for good.”

The couple is launching a new program called The Parents Network with their charitable Archewell Foundation, which supports parents whose children have been impacted by online harm.

During the interview, Pauley also spoke with parents participating in the pilot program, who open up about how it helped them in their healing process after their child took their own life.

“At this point, we’ve got to the stage where almost every parent needs to be a first responder,” said Prince Harry. “And even the best first responders in the world wouldn’t be able to tell the signs of possible suicide. That is the terrifying piece of this.”

On Friday, Meghan Markle reunited with two close friends at a business event in the Hamptons. The next day, makeup artist Bobbi Brown posted a picture with the duchess and her longtime friend Misha Nonoo at the G9 Ventures Summer Summit in East Hampton to her Instagram account.

In the photo, Meghan wore an oatmeal-colored linen vest and trousers by St. Agni. Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Katie Couric, Julianne Hough, Naomi Watts, and Spanx founder Sara Blakely were reportedly also on the guest list for the event organized by G9 Ventures, a firm that invests in early-stage startups founded by entrepreneur Amy Griffin.

According to Page Six, Meghan traveled to the exclusive enclave via private jet with entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, the co-founder of IT Cosmetics. Sources who spoke to the tabloid said the duchess was attending the summit to get some tips on launching American Riviera Orchard, the lifestyle brand she announced back in March. Lima later posted photos with Meghan at the event to her own Instagram, including one where the pair are sitting next to former anchor Diane Sawyer.

Fashion designer Nonoo, who married heir Mikey Hess in 2019, has known Meghan for nearly a decade and attended her May 2018 wedding to Prince Harry. Brown, who left her eponymous beauty brand in 2017 to become the founder and face of Jones Road, has worked with Meghan in the past, including a September 2016 promotional video where Brown taught the future duchess how to apply makeup in the back of an Uber.

Meghan announced her plan to start American Riviera Orchard with a new Instagram account and a soft-focus video earlier this year, and its products are expected to make it to the general public sometime soon. Though a trademark application filed for the brand lists a large array of potential products, including yoga mats, nut butters, and aromatherapy oil diffusers, so far only a few sneak peeks at Meghan’s new wares have been made public. In March, she began to send out limited-edition jars of jam to a list of friends that included Tracy Robbins and Delfina Blaquier. By April, the list of recipients was thought to include Kris Jenner, Mindy Kaling, Chrissy Teigen, and longtime friends Abigail Spencer and Kelly McKee Zajfen.
