Established by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Archewell Foundation has the motto of “show up, do good,”
which they carry forward with their community work focused on mental health and collective wellbeing. To make their efforts more effective, last year they launched the No Child Lost to Social Media campaign, where the foundation engages with parents and caregivers and educates them as much as possible on this topic. Through it, they are also trying to get legislation like The Take It Down Act to pass. Their latest commendable effort has come despite being busy with the Time Summit.
Recently, Meghan Markle proudly held hands with Prince Harry and power walked in New York for the TIME100 Summit
at Jazz at Lincoln Center on Wednesday. After the Summit, they stayed back in New York for this emotional memorial. The Sussexes may have stepped down from royal duties, but they continue to contribute towards the world’s betterment through these causes.
