Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing for their highly anticipated trip to Canada ahead of the Invictus Games, set to kick off this weekend.
Before heading across the border, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a new statement through their Archewell Foundation, marking Black History Month and encouraging people to reflect on the impact of activists, leaders, and changemakers.
In their official statement, the couple emphasized the importance of education and cultural appreciation, writing: "At The Archewell Foundation, we celebrate the rich culture and contributions of those who have come before us throughout history. As we mark Black History Month, we encourage everyone to learn and reflect on the contributions of leaders, activists, and changemakers who have inspired progress."
They further encouraged the public to explore stories, art, history, and culture, adding:
"Taking the time to appreciate stories, art, history, and culture not only honors the communities that have built these spaces, but also contributes to our collective wellbeing.”
The Invictus Games, a sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick service members and veterans, has been a key initiative for Prince Harry. The upcoming 2025 event in Vancouver and Whistler will continue to spotlight resilience, recovery, and the power of sports.
