Harry and Meghan, the new photo for Archie's birthday (and for a good cause)
The dukes of Sussex, through their "Archewell" foundation, have invited to donate at least 5 dollars for the vaccination campaign in progress: "In developing countries, distribution has yet to begin. Many of you make donations in the name of Archie, continue on this path "
Archie Harrison has been in trend on Twitter for most of the day of May 6, the day of the second birthday of Harry and Meghan's eldest son, but the British had to wait a long time before seeing the new photo of the baby: you know, the dukes of Sussex live in California, and the time zones are what they are.
It was the site of the Fondazone Archewell that published the shot, which then began to circulate via social media on the couple's various fan pages. Archie, in jeans and sneakers, is portrayed from behind, his head up, while he looks at the balloons he holds in his hand.
No further concessions to royal watchers, at least so far: Harry and Meghan seem to have no intention of showing their son to the press. The publication of the photo, as it happened last year, had a charitable purpose: the dukes, in fact, invited the people who follow them to support the vaccination campaign against Covid-19.
“Over the past two years we have been deeply touched to feel the warmth and support for our family in honor of Archie's birthday. Many of you make donations to charities in his name ", the couple began, urging them to continue on the same path:" Raise funds for those who need it, continue to do it spontaneously and selflessly ".
The Sussex's thoughts then went to all those who have not yet had access to the vaccine. "We remember that in most of the countries of the world, especially in developing countries, distribution has yet to start, we will not be able to really recover until everyone, everywhere, has equal access to the vaccine."
The invitation, to those who can, is to donate $ 5, the cost of a dose, which, thanks to the support of various associations, will turn into $ 20. "We can't think of a more resounding way to honor our son's birthday," the Sussexes said. "If we all show up, with compassion for those we know and don't know, we can have a profound impact."
And Harry and Meghan know how to pull the right strings, as long as they're away from the royal family and London.
