Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan launch Archewell website

 

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have launched their Archewell website.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made the online offering of their charity live.

The new website asks people to submit their details and sign up to their newsletter.The note reads: "Yes, I would like Archewell to send me emails about its activities and initiatives. You can unsubscribe at any time."

Back in April, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan announced their new charity was called Archewell and whilst they were "looking forward” to launching the foundation, they wanted to focus on the coronavirus pandemic.

The couple said in a statement at the time: "Like you, our focus is on supporting efforts to tackle the global Covid-19 pandemic but faced with this information coming to light, we felt compelled to share the story of how this came to be. Before SussexRoyal, came the idea of 'Arche' - the Greek word meaning 'source of action'. We connected to this concept for the charitable organisation we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son’s name. To do something of meaning, to do something that matters. Archewell is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon. We look forward to launching Archewell when the time is right."

Harry and Meghan outlined in official papers that they could use the charity name for a number of different things including the "organising and conducting support groups for persons in need" as well as "emotional counselling" and "coordinating social, personal care, and psychological services". The website will be "in the field of nutrition, general health and mental health".

The week before announcing their new charity, the couple closed their Sussex Royal Instagram account. They wrote at the time: "As we all find the part we are to play in this global shift and changing of habits, we are focusing this new chapter to understand how we can best contribute. While you may not see us here [on Instagram], the work continues."
