Snip...
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are the cover stars of Time magazine’s list of the most influential people in the world, with the accolade revealed on the duke’s 37th birthday.

The US publication released a glossy image of Harry and Meghan, taken at their Montecito home in California. Jose Andres, a friend and chef who runs the charity World Central Kitchen, writes that the couple are “driven” and “compassionate”, and give a “voice to the voiceless”.

“Springing into action is not the easy choice for a young duke and duchess who have been blessed through birth and talent, and burned by fame. It would be much safer to enjoy their good fortune and stay silent,” Andres writes. He adds: “They run towards the struggle.”

Writing that they were “humbled” to be part of Time’s annual top 100 list on their Archewell foundation website, the couple also contributed to the list, honouring the economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the first African and first woman to lead the World Trade Organization. “What will it take to vaccinate the world? Unity, cooperation – and leaders like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,” they wrote.

I wish the couple well in America and thank them for their charity work. I thought this was a stunningly beautiful photo of Meghan.

..& dared to shake the hierarchy of the British Crown in calling out the truth.
That takes some solid trust & commitment to each other.

They have brought necessary assistance thru their global charities & connections & thru it all, they love each other & their little family.


Congrats~

Thank you for posting this

If not for Queen Elizabeth’s uncle quitting, she’d never be queen. I’m sure other quit like Harry throughout history. The spare has more room to quit.

They both sought privacy in their personal life from the insanity of profit driven Media, & now exist in that lane of 'doing all the good they can' via their charitable work.

I cannot imagine living an entire lifetime in that grand exclusive castle, where stepping a foot out the door is met with such detailed critique, assumption, & invasive media blast of opinion.

I hope Harry is enjoying walking out the door of his home and being himself with his kids & wife & just standing there in his bathrobe if he wishes, & not having Piers Morgan profiting off his vile racist opinion of his wife, or blasting a for-profit headline guessing the skin color of Harry's newborn son.

May they forever live in peace, privacy & happiness.
