The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will help women in need in the US with a $1 million fund in a charity project inspired by Meghan’s podcast.
Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation charity partners with The VING Project to give $1,000 scholarships to women in the US nominated by teens ages 14 to 18 to inspire others.
The drive is inspired by Meghan’s podcast, Archetypes, who invites a female guest every week for a chat. During the discussion, they share how they have been stereotyped by their gender, race and background and how they have managed to overcome such stereotypes.

The project will be inspired by Meghan’s podcast, Archetypes, in which she invites famous women to discuss how they have been held back by stereotypes about their gender, race and background.
About the initiative, Meghan said: ‘Two things that bring me great joy are supporting women and the spirit of giving.
With the return of Archetypes, Archewell Foundation and VING have come together to create the perfect combination of these loves.
“By donating $1 million in scholarships to women in need, we hope not only to provide support where it can be felt most deeply, but also to empower young adults to embrace the gift of giving at an early age.
“I am very proud of this collaboration and the good we hope to see will come from it.”
The Archewell Foundation will donate the $1 million to the VING project so it can carry out its work.
Nominees for a $1,000 scholarship must be U.S. citizens and must not be direct or extended family members of the nominator.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (pictured at the Queen’s funeral last month) made their first major announcement since the Queen died
Since stepping down as senior members of the royal family in early 2020 and moving to California, the couple has started several charitable initiatives through the Archewell Foundation.
This ride is the first charity announcement the Duke and Duchess have made since the Queen’s state funeral on September 19.
The couple, who were in the UK when the Queen died in Balmoral on 8 September, stayed at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor during the mourning period and attended the funeral at Westminster Abbey, followed by the funeral service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.
Two days after the Queen passed away, royal fans were delighted to see Harry and Meghan stepping into Windsor alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales to thank the benefactors for their tribute to Her Majesty.
King Charles also allowed Harry to wear his military uniform, despite no longer being a working royal, to participate in a Vigil of Princes with his brother and cousins at Westminster Hall, where the Queen’s casket is in state. lay.
Since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew back to the US, they seem to have settled back into their lives in California, where they run the Archewell Foundation from home.
In an interview with the cut in August, Harry and Meghan revealed they were sitting back to back in their home office as they worked on the foundation.
The Duke told the publication that it felt “natural and normal” to work with his wife.
