Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Just Did the Sweetest Thing for Archie
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just donated £4,350 (or $5,440) to the Love for Oceans charity in Archie's name.
They mysteriously listed "Archie HMW" as the donor, but the organization quickly figured out who that was.
Even though he's not even five months old, Archie Harrison has done some pretty impressive things already, like meet the Queen of England and stay at a "billionaire's playground" in Ibiza. Plus, he's about to embark on a royal tour of Africa with his parents Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, NBD.
Well, now we can add another thing to that list: Archie recently donated $5,440 to a charity in Guinjata Bay, Mozambique that will go towards building a swimming pool and teaching locals how to swim. As Archie doesn't have a job/can't even talk yet/probably doesn't know what a swimming pool is, it was Meghan and Harry who donated the money in his name, but still—that's super cute!
According to Harper's Baazar, although Guinjata is a coastal town, most of the local population doesn't know how to swim, and around 12 people drown per year. Which is why the marine conservation non-profit Love the Oceans started a fundraiser to build a pool where children could take swimming lesson and to pay for the swimming instructors. This will not only hopefully save lives, but it will also help with employment opportunities for locals in the future, as the area "thrives on marine eco-tourism."
Meghan and Harry subtly made the donation under the name "Archie HMW," but because @sussexroyal Instagram account had highlighted Love the Oceans as a charity "persevering at the grassroots level," organizers suspected that the mysterious donor was someone in the royal family. They were able to confirm that it was Meghan and Harry behind the gift and said that they were "blown away" by the donation.
This is Archie's first charitable endeavor, so you many now refer to him as Master Archie, baby philanthropist!
