We hope everyone has been enjoying their Summer so far. Today we have some updates on what Harry and Meghan have been up to lately.
The Duke and Duchess Sent A Surprise Gift to Harvest Home
Recently, Harry and Meghan sent a surprise gift to Harvest Home, a Los Angeles-based charity that supports homeless pregnant women.
The couple donated diapers in collaboration with their charitable foundation, Archewell and companies Procter & Gamble and Pampers.
Harvest Home shared the news in an Instagram post —
Harry and Meghan became involved with the charity after moving to California in 2020. You may recall for this past Mother’s Day, the couple recognized the hard work of Harvest Home via Archewell and made a surprise donation while Meghan was pregnant with their daughter, Lilibet.
After making that donation, Meghan released a statement explaining why she chooses to support Harvest Home —
As a mom, and an expectant mom, I deeply appreciate the significance of community support, safe and accessible pregnancy resources, and trusted guidance in a nurturing setting. These ingredients are essential to not just our physical health, but our mental well-being, and I commend you for leading a compassionate community that lives these values.
Thank you for all you do for the women and mothers who are turned away elsewhere, at no fault of their own. When we consider how vulnerable any mother feels during the fragile time of pregnancy, we gain perspective about how especially difficult it can be for pregnant women of color and those who come from under-resourced and vulnerable communities. I hope you will accept an offer of support to help further uplift Harvest Home’s residents.”

When Will We See Harry and Meghan Again?
A burning question on Meghan follower’s minds these days — when are we going to see Harry and Meghan again? While we know it’s been reported that Archewell employees are offered up to 20 weeks off for parental leave we’re thinking Harry and Meghan will continue to work behind the scenes and expect to hear from (or see) them from time to time over the Summer and early Fall. Hopefully in the Fall months we will start to see the couple out doing some local engagements.
