It was announced just last week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are officially stepping down from their royal duties for good, but that doesn’t mean they are stepping back from the causes that mean most to them. On February 21, Harry and Meghan surprised Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support in Dallas, TX, assisting them with repairs caused by the winter storm that devastated the state.
“Today news of our damage reached Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex!” Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support – an organization dedicated to providing protection, safety, and advice to women and children who have experienced domestic violence – wrote on their Twitter page. “Through your non-profit organization [Archewell Foundation]They support us by replacing the roof of our temporary shelter and helping us meet our immediate needs. ”
Although Meghan and Harry are forced to give up various royal patrons and honorary appointments by stepping down as high-ranking working members of the royal family, they can retain their private patronages, including charities and projects like Smart Works, Mayhew, The Invictus Games, and of course their Archewell Foundation . This under-the-radar couple’s recent help shows that the Duke and Duchess will always be people of action, regardless of royal patronage.
Genesis has set up an Amazon wish list to help with donations.
