Meghan Markle is letting fans in on a private, sweet moment she shared with her husband, Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram on Friday, October 10 to share a heartfelt message on her Instagram Stories, posting footage of herself and Harry. The post showed the married couple chatting backstage before the annual Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Gala at Spring Studios in New York City on Thursday.
The video, which is in black and white, is set to Sylvie Vartan's song "Baby, c'est vous," a French phrase that translates to "Baby, it's you." In the clip, Meghan, 44, can be seen laughing at a joke made by the Duke of Sussex, 41.
"Happy World Mental Health Day," she wrote in her caption. "...to the man who always keeps me laughing."
This show of affection from the former actress comes after couple made a rare public appearance at Thursday's event. As they posed for red carpet photos while holding hands, Meghan went for a look by one of her go-to designers, Armani. She stepped out in a sleek black suit, a chunky gold chain necklace and a ponytail. Harry, meanwhile, looked sharp in a classic black suit with a metallic tie.
For World Mental Health Day on Friday, the couple also stopped by the annual World Mental Health Day Festival itself, where their Archewell Foundation hosted three panels. As Meghan sat in the front row, her husband took to the stage to introduce the first session, “Thriving or Surviving: How Are Young People Doing in the Digital Age?,” telling the crowd, “Today is more than just about conversation — it’s about community.”
"Young people learning to navigate a digital world that wasn't designed with their wellbeing. This is what we've discovered," he added. "Maintaining good mental health isn't just an individual challenge, it is a community responsibility. Approach this way, everybody wins. That's what today is about."
Harry and Meghan received the Humanitarians of the Year Award on Thursday, being honored by the nonprofit for their efforts to build a safer, more equitable online world for families and youth, in addition to their contributions to advance mental well-being worldwide.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared their perspective as parents while acknowledging the Humanitarians of the Year Award. The couple are parents to son Prince Archie, 6, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 4.
"Working with families and young people to prioritize safety online has been some of the most meaningful work of our lives. As parents ourselves, we have been moved to action by the power of their stories and are honored to support them," Prince Harry and Meghan said in a statement.
