Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Impact
In September this year, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were labeled as one of the "Most Influential People of 2021" by Time Magazine. Author José Andrés wrote about the couple's mutual humanitarian calling their shared urgency and drive for compassion despite being "burned by fame."
Based on the publication, the Duke and Duchess have refused to live a quiet life and take the safe route after giving up their royal titles. The two have made it possible to give the voiceless a platform to voice their concerns by establishing Archwell Foundation and several media productions.
In line with this, the couple has also worked hand-in-hand with non-profit partners to provide for communities in need. Some of their programs include feeding those affected by natural disasters in India and the Caribbean and mental health support for Black women and girls in the United States.
Markle previously declared her strong advocacy for humanitarian and women's rights in an essay she wrote back in 2016 where she stated that "This type of work is what feeds my soul."
Andrés concluded his article with the sentence, "In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don't know, the duke and duchess have compassion for the people they don't know. They don't just opine. They run toward the struggle."
