Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry are honored for their social commitment. As the British "Daily Mail" reports, the couple and the joint Archewell Foundation will be awarded the Haji Abdul Rauf Service Award. This is a special recognition of her commitment to refugees from Afghanistan and her support of the non-profit organization Human First Coalition.
The award will be presented at a charity event in New York next week. However, according to the Daily Mail, the couple will not accept the award themselves, Archewell Managing Director James Holt will represent them. US Senator Richard Blumenthal is also honored with the award for his commitment to Afghan refugees and asylum seekers.
Christmas donation
Harry and Meghan are said to have supported the non-profit organization Human First Coalition with a donation at the end of 2021, among other things. On the Christmas card, which featured a family photo with daughter Lilibet and son Archie, the couple said: "As we look forward to 2022, we have made donations on your behalf to several organizations supporting families - from those who have been resettled from Afghanistan, to American families who need paid parental leave."
The non-profit organization Archewell was founded by Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan in 2020. After moving to California, the couple had decided to disband UK charity MWX, formerly Sussex Royal, and start a new US charitable organization.
