The message was played at the United Nations Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children in Bogotá, Colombia.
The couple both wore blazers adorned with poppy pins to commemorate Remembrance Day, which is being held in the UK today. While Harry wore one with leaves, Meghan wore one without.
The occasion is observed in Commonwealth countries on November 11, commemorating armed forces members who have died in the line of duty since the end of World War One.
Harry commented on another pressing matter, sharing in the video, "We are at a crossroads where the urgency to reassess and redefine our approach to protecting children has become increasingly evident.
"While the necessity has always been apparent, it's now time to translate that awareness into meaningful action."
Markle continued by adding that they "recognise that today's reality is marked by greater connectivity and advanced technology, which, of course, has many positives; at which, it also compels us to better understand how digital violence against children is manifesting itself in this age.

"At the Archewell Foundation, we engage with young people, families and experts worldwide, learning about how every aspect of a child's life – from their livelihood to their physical and mental well-being – now operates within an online economy that has both the power to shape and misshape our connections," she said.
The video message marks their first joint pubic appearance since they were spotted leaving friend Tyler Perry's 55th birthday party in their neighbourhood of Montecito on September 14.
