Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s philanthropic journey with the Archewell Foundation reached new heights as they unveiled their impactful 2022-23 report, accompanied by a compelling one-minute video showcasing their dedication to positive change.
According to a report from Express, The video, released just hours after Princess Kate’s heartwarming display of royal children volunteering, features the Duke and Duchess engaging with organizations and individuals touched by Archewell’s endeavors. It captures key moments from various Archewell events, giving a glimpse into the couple’s hands-on approach to philanthropy.

Addressing the digital landscape, Harry and Meghan emphasize creating a safer online space for children, asserting that “a safe and responsible online world can help safeguard our collective mental wellbeing.” Their commitment materialized through a parents’ summit in New York on World Mental Health Day, where families shared experiences and discussed solutions.
Archewell launched a support network for families impacted by online harm, earning overwhelming praise. The couple’s dedication to online safety aligns with their broader mission to promote “information integrity and access to ethical journalism as a fundamental right.”
Collaborating with the NAACP, Archewell initiated an award celebrating those at the forefront of the civil rights movement online. In a statement, Harry and Meghan expressed their desire to “highlight and uplift people across the country who are transforming the digital world for the better.”
