Harry & Meghan Win 'Humanitarians of the Year': Are They Deserving?

Meghan and Harry Steal Spotlight with Humanitarian Award Win

In a night of glamour and philanthropy, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were crowned 'Humanitarians of the Year' at the exclusive Project Healthy Minds gala in New York City last night. The couple's star-studded appearance had tongues wagging as they accepted their well-deserved award amidst a sea of A-list celebrities.

But what really caught our attention was Meghan's passionate speech, where she voiced her deepest concerns about the impact of technology on their children, Archie and Lilibet. The duchess, who has been hailed as 'a mother, wife, entrepreneur, and philanthropist', expressed her fears that future generations will be shaped by the constant scrutiny and pressures of social media.

As we all know, Meghan and Harry have made mental health a top priority since launching their Archewell Foundation in 2020. And it's clear that this commitment has not gone unnoticed – they were chosen for this prestigious award above other notable nominees.

But what really sets them apart? In the words of one attendee: "Meghan and Harry are the ultimate power couple, using their platform to drive real change. Their dedication to youth mental health is inspiring, and we're honored to have them as our Humanitarians of the Year."

The honor comes with some impressive credentials – Harry's work with mental health companies has made a tangible impact on the lives of countless individuals, while his memoir Spare has given readers an intimate glimpse into the pressures of royal life.

Meanwhile, Meghan has been lauded for her tireless advocacy and entrepreneurship. From championing women's rights to launching a successful podcast, she continues to defy expectations with her passion and drive.

As we celebrate this remarkable couple's achievement, it's hard not to wonder: are they doing enough? Should others be recognized alongside them?

But first, take a look back at last year's winners – Jeff Yabuki and his wife Gail were awarded for their tireless work in mental health advocacy after experiencing tragedy firsthand with the loss of Jeff's brother in 2017.

And speaking of poll results, we're still buzzing from yesterday's vote: 'Does Donald Trump deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize?' The numbers are shocking – out of an astonishing 42,000 votes, it was neck and neck between those who said 'yes' (51%) and those who said 'no' (49%). What do you think? Does Trump have what it takes for such a prestigious honor?
