Meghan Markle and Prince Harry showcased a united front in a recent Archewell Foundation video, despite their professional separation. Released on Tuesday, the video captured behind-the-scenes moments from the couple's charity appearances throughout 2024, emphasizing the progress made by their foundation.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been attending various events individually over the past few months. The clip, set to Coldplay's 'Sky Full of Stars,' featured Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, at numerous philanthropic events since January. Highlights included their joint summer trip to Colombia and their solo engagements.
In a voiceover, Harry stated, 'A safer world is possible — and together we can and will make it happen.' He added, 'Every single one of you inspires me and us every single day. So please continue to support each other. Here’s to 2025.'
The Instagram post accompanying the video noted that 'Archewell Foundation raised a record amount of 5.4 million in their third year,' as outlined in the foundation’s 2023-2024 Impact Report. The report highlighted key initiatives, including visits to Nigeria, Colombia, and Canada, and various programs.
Funds were allocated to causes such as £1.3 million for The Parents Network, which protects children from online harm, the Welcome Project, and others focusing on community well-being and mental health. Lesser-known contributions included initiatives combating misinformation and uplifting women.
Meghan and Harry also collaborated with Ashley Biden’s Women’s Wellness (Spa)ce, a trauma-informed wellness center for women in Philadelphia. According to PEOPLE, the Archewell Foundation donated $250,000 to this initiative.
Since their Colombia trip in August, the couple has been spending time apart, focusing on solo public appearances. Last month, Harry attended Invictus Games events in Vancouver, while Meghan joined a beauty launch event and hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for the Southern California Welcome Project without her husband.
The pair reunited for a Veteran’s Day video on November 11, discussing online safety for children. In the clip, Harry acknowledged they had been 'at a crossroads' with their work in recent weeks.
