Feeding Britain to receive donation from Meghan Markle & Prince Harry

-

According to an article in  Town and Country Magazine today, Meghan and Harry have pledged a donation of around one hundred thousand pounds to U.K. Charity Feeding Britain. 

The charity is seeing increased demands for its services as a result of issues arising from Covid-19. The money is said to come from funds generated by the BBC broadcast of their royal wedding in May 2018. Meghan and Harry have close connections to this particular charity. They toured one of its programs in Birkenhead in January 2019 when Meghan was pregnant with Archie. The president of the charity is the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who officiated at Meghan and Harry's wedding. 
Duke and Duchess of Sussex pledge a donation to Feeding Britain to assist with increased demand for services due to Covid-19
Per the Feeding Britain website their vision is a UK where no one goes hungry. The organization wishes to demonstrate how hunger and its underlying causes can be addressed. The charity uses this learning to advocate for systemic changes to eliminate hunger in the UK. 

This mixture of practical assistance with advocacy for longer term change is something that fits in nicely with Meghan and Harry's own philosophies.

And look at Meghan's bump. Baby No.2 is growing nicely and it appears that it won't be long before Archie's sister arrives. Was Archie off to a play date? (And in case anyone wants to bitch about the fact that Meghan is not wearing head-to-toe black, in mourning for Prince Phillip, Princess Anne was out and about this week wearing a very non-black hue called Red - just getting this in first before the trolls start) Photo as published by the New York Post
