Meghan and Harry appear in new video making surprise calls to young people
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle delighted a group of young leaders with a surprise phone call in which they thanked them on behalf of their children for improving the digital world.
The Archewell Foundation, a philanthropic organization set up by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, is on the advisory board of the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund (RTYPF), a new initiative that aims to empower young people to advocate for the changes they want to see in the technology industry.
Twenty-six youth-led initiatives will be given a total of $2 million to support their efforts to create a more inclusive, equitable, and accountable technology ecosystem.
In a video shared by the RTYPF, Harry and Meghan can be seen beaming as they call to congratulate some of the young leaders who have been chosen for the inaugural cohort.
Harry, 38, referenced the couple’s children Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, in the clip saying: ‘Thank you for doing everything that you do. Our kids especially are incredibly grateful.’ Meghan, 41, then added with a laugh: ‘They don’t know it yet, but they will!’
