The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle paid heartfelt tribute to the victims of 9/11 on the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

The royals paid emotional homage by honoring the nearly 3,000 victims of the worst terror attacks on the land of United States of America

On Saturday, Harry and Meghan, 36 and 40 respectively, blacked out their Archewell website and listed the all 2,977 names of the people killed at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and on United Flight 93.


Gone were any mentions of Archewell itself or links to any of the website’s normal features. Instead the victims’ names were accompanied by the simple text, “In Memoriam”, and the date of the attacks, “September 11, 2001.”

The British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II also paid tribute to the victims in a message sent to US President Joe Biden which she shared on social media.

“As we mark the 20th anniversary of the terrible attacks on 11th September 2001, my thoughts and prayers — and those of my family and the entire nation — remain with the victims, survivors and families affected, as well as the first responders and rescue workers called to duty,” Her Majesty said in a statement.

"My visit to the site of the World Trade Center in 2010 is held fast in my memory. It reminds me that as we honour those from many nations, faiths, and backgrounds who lost their lives, we also pay tribute to the resilience and determination of the communities who joined together to rebuild. Elizabeth R," the statement concluded.
