Prince Harry, Meghan Unveil New Charity Name As Archewell
Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have unveiled the name of their new non-profit charitable organisation as Archewell based on the name of their 11-month-old son Archie.
Britain's
Prince
Harry
and
Meghan
Markle,
who
stepped
down
as
frontline
royals
and
set
up
base
in
the
US,
have
unveiled
the
name
of
their
new
non-profit
charitable
organisation
as
Archewell
based
on
the
name
of
their
11-month-old
son
Archie.
The
couple,
now
living
in
Los
Angeles,
said
they
look
forward
to
formally
launching
the
new
foundation
"when
the
time
is
right",
which
will
replace
their
erstwhile
Sussex
Royal
brand.
They
also
revealed
that
the
Greek
word
in
the
project,
Arche,
was
the
inspiration
behind
the
name
of
their
son,
Archie
Harrison
Mountbatten-Windsor.
"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," the
Duke
and
Duchess
of
Sussex
told
'The
Daily
Telegraph',
which
revealed
the
new
branding.
The
couple
had
not
planned
to
launch
details
of
the
non-profit
organisation
yet
due
to
the
focus
on
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
But
after
paperwork
including
the
name
was
filed
in
the
public
domain
in
the
US,
they
confirmed
to
the
newspaper
that
they
will
be
launching
it
under
the
name
Archewell.
"Before
Sussex
Royal,
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," the
statement
said.
"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,"
it
said.
According
to
the
paperwork
filed,
plans
now
under
consideration
for
Archewell
include
"organising
and
conducting
support
groups
for
persons
in
need",
including
"emotional
counselling"
and
"coordinating
social,
personal
care,
and
psychological
services"
It
will
include
a
wide-ranging
website
to
share
"education
and
training
materials"
via
films,
podcasts
and
books,
the
report
said.
Harry,
35,
and
Meghan,
38,
started
their
new
financially
independent
lives
this
month
and
are
said
to
be
based
at
a
home
close
to
Hollywood
in
Los
Angeles,
which
remains
in
lockdown
during
the
COVID-19
outbreak.
They
have
delayed
announcing
their
new
social
media
branding
and
profiles
as
their
spokesperson
said
the
couple
wanted
the
focus
to
remain
on
the
global
response
to
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
They
had
given
up
on
their
former
Sussex
Royal
branding
as
part
of
the
agreement
struck
with
Buckingham
Palace,
which
includes
a
12-month
transition
period
leaving
the
prospect
for
Harry
to
return
to
his
frontline
duties
if
he
changes
his
mind
by
March
2021.
