The launch comes after the pair announced the foundation back in April.
Date October 21, 2020
Six months after announcing they were launching their own organization called Archewell, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially unveiled the website for their foundation.
Launched today, the website features only a holding page with a soft neutral background and the word Archewell accompanied by an explanation of the name. The pair explain that Arche is a “Greek word meaning ‘source of action'” and Well is “a plentiful source or supply; a place we go to dig deep.” There is also a subscription box.
Upon announcing the foundation back in April, Harry and Meghan revealed how they came to the name – and how it inspired the name of their son, Archie. “Like you, our focus is on supporting efforts to tackle the global COVID-19 pandemic but faced with this information coming to light, we felt compelled to share the story of how this came to be,” they wrote adding that Archewell “is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon.”
They continued, “Before Sussex Royal, came the idea of Arche – the Greek word meaning source of action. We connected to this concept for the charitable organization we hoped to build one day, and it became the source of inspiration for our son’s name. To do something of meaning, to do something that matters. Archewell is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon. We look forward to launching Archewell when the time is right.”
The pair shared no further details regarding a launch date or further specifics for the non-profit but the launch of the website suggests Archewell will make its debut very soon. Watch this space.
