Harry and Meghan release slick video of the Duchess hugging veterans and taking selfies to highlight the ‘impact’ of their Archewell foundation – hours after Kate’s film with George, Charlotte and Louis at a baby bank
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released a video showing Archewell’s “impact” in 2023, just hours after the Princess of Wales shared a clip of herself on a baby couch with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The royal couple shared a one-minute clip showcasing people and charities their foundation has helped in 2023.
Although the couple has shared similar videos in the past, this one is usually not released until early January to show the year before.
The video included footage of Meghan’s visit to the Fisher House Foundation in Los Angeles, as well as the couple’s phone calls to entrepreneurs, visits to New York to speak at a mental health summit and a trip to The Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn.
It also shows workers rebuilding a playground in Uvalde, Texas, after a massacre that killed 21 people, including 19 children, in 2022.

The clip shows Meghan at the Fisher House Foundation which provides homes to military families while their loved one is in the hospital. The images were first shown during the Invictus Games.
Another clip from August showed Harry and Meghan calling young entrepreneurs to tell them that the initiatives they run had received a share of $2 million in grants.
The video also shows Meghan speaking at a mental health summit in New York in October.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex hosted a panel discussion at the World Mental Health Day Festival, marking their first ever in-person event for their charity, the Archewell Foundation.
The clip comes as the Princess of Wales shared a clip of herself with Prince George, Princes Louis and Princess Charlotte at a baby bank in Windsor.
The Welsh children helped their mother and volunteers choose donations and make boxes for children in need for Christmas.
As they sorted through piles of donated clothes, sensible George, 10, and Charlotte folded eight clothes, just like their mum Kate.
But unlike his older siblings, Louis, five, picked up a T-shirt and tossed it into the neat pile.

In addition to the video, Harry and Meghan also published a 25-page impact report.
It explains that the couple is “committed to a simple yet profound mission to show up and do good.”
“Our work, especially this year, is rooted in fostering community and continuing to respond to those in need amid the evolving challenges we face in today’s world.”
It is then broken down into three “key priorities”: uplifting communities, building a better online world, and rebuilding trust in information.
