Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced a new Archewell initiative on their third anniversary. Get details!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are adamant on helping others. On Wednesday, May 19 — the couple's third wedding anniversary — the red-headed royal, 36, and the former actress, 39, announced a new initiative on their Archewell website. 

"As part of our ongoing philanthropic partnership, Archewell Foundation and World Central Kitchen are announcing plans today to build our next Community Relief Center in India, which is facing a devastating second wave of COVID-19," the message began. "Right now, COVID-19 cases are spiking across the entire country of India. On Tuesday, India’s total virus cases exceeded 25 million, with 260,000 new cases and 4,329 deaths reported in the past 24 hours. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost, millions have been infected, and there is widespread concern that the crisis is even worse than reported."

It continued, "Archewell Foundation and World Central Kitchen will establish our latest community relief center in Mumbai, India, which is also home to Myna Mahila, an Indian organization focused on women’s health and employment opportunities that The Duchess of Sussex has long supported. The Mumbai location will be the third in a series of four Community Relief Centers that our organizations have committed to develop in regions of the world disproportionately affected by natural disaster. (Construction has already been completed on a relief center in the Commonwealth of Dominica; development of a relief center in Puerto Rico is underway.)"

The centers will "provide relief and resilience (as well as healing and strength)," the message stated. "During future crises, these centers can be quickly activated as emergency response kitchens — or vaccination sites — and through calmer times they can serve as food distribution hubs, schools, clinics, or community gathering spaces for families."

Meghan and Harry have made it clear that everyone needs to get vaccinated so that the world can get back to normal. 

Even though the pair have much to celebrate, they are laying low at home in California, a source told The Royal Observer.
