Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who returned to Montecito from their ‘non-royal’ two-day visit to Jordan, appeared to be back in action to deliver an important announcement.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped down from their senior royal roles in 2020, have recently been praised for the work they have done with their foundation, Archewell Philanthropies.
Also, in light of the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scandal that continues to plague the royal family, Harry and Meghan have gained a lot of support with many fans insisting on bringing them back in some sort of acting role.
Before that happens though, the Sussexes are dedicated to the work at hand as they use their platform to highlight and honor women in “extraordinary leadership to advance equality and safety in the digital space”.
For the fifth year of the NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award, Harry and Meghan announced Dr. Mary Anne Franks as the recipient of the honor, who is “a nationally recognized legal scholar, author and advocate whose work explores how technology can both protect and endanger fundamental rights”.
In the statement, Archewell said the award “reflects a growing truth of our time: that protecting civil rights in the digital age is essential to protecting them everywhere”.
The news came as experts pointed out how Prince Harry and Meghan could have been major assets to the royal family with their public duties.
Journalist Chris Ship took the Jordan tour as a reference and said the Sussexes still do the same things they did when they worked as royals. He said the royal family lacks the “Meghan magic” which would have worked to its advantage and added diversity to the role.
He said Meghan “brought something to the role that none of the royals could, just because she came from a different country and ethnicity”, but they lost out on that because of the naysayers.
