In the statement, cited by the Express, the foundation emphasizes the importance of civic responsibility: "Voting is not just a right; it’s a fundamental way to influence the fate of our communities.

"At The Archewell Foundation, we recognize that civic engagement, no matter one’s political party, is at the heart of a more just and equitable world. By participating in initiatives like this, we aim to amplify the message that every voice matters."

The statement concludes with a call to action, urging: "Together, let’s make sure every eligible voter is informed and empowered to participate in shaping America’s future."

Despite their continued involvement in promoting political awareness, neither Harry nor Meghan, nor the Archewell Foundation, has publicly endorsed any candidates in the upcoming election, including current contenders Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

In other Prince Harry news, he is set to return to the UK on September 30 to attend the WellChild Awards, where he will present an award and deliver a speech at the annual ceremony honoring seriously ill children.

This will be his fourth visit to the UK this year, but it is considered unlikely that he will reunite with his father, King Charles III, during the trip, per the Telegraph.

Prince Harry has been a patron of WellChild, a charity that supports sick children and their families, since 2007.

He regularly attends its annual award ceremony, where he meets the young recipients backstage. This year, he will present the award for "Inspirational Child, aged four to six."

In a statement, Harry expressed his continued commitment to the cause: “I am once again honored to attend this year’s WellChild Awards, celebrating the remarkable courage and achievements of children living with complex medical needs.

"These incredible young people, along with the dedicated caregivers, nurses, and professionals who tirelessly support them, inspire us all. It is a true privilege to recognize such extraordinary individuals.”

Although relations between father and son remain strained, Harry has been open about his desire to mend the relationship.
