Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s charitable foundation has broken its silence on the upcoming presidential election, marking National Voter Registration Day with a new statement.
“In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The Archewell Foundation team came together for a meaningful volunteer activity to support and empower our communities,” they said in a post to their website on September 17.
“Using Vote Forward’s impactful letter-writing tool, our team wrote personalized letters encouraging unregistered voters to take a crucial step: registering to vote.
“Voting is not just a right; it’s a fundamental way to influence the fate of our communities. At The Archewell Foundation, we recognize that civic engagement, no matter one’s political party, is at the heart of a more just and equitable world. By participating in initiatives like this, we aim to amplify the message that every voice matters.
“We invite you to join us in this important effort.”

The foundation also went on to add: “Together, let’s make sure every eligible voter is informed and empowered to participate in shaping America’s future.”
Harry and Meghan have not personally endorsed either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in their candidacy for president.
The couple previously encouraged voter registration ahead of the 2020 presidential election, shortly after their move to the U.S. following their split from the monarchy.
