Prince Harry, Meghan Markle reveal ‘bold vision’ after charity setback

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are seem to be bringing back their focus to key work over patronages despite the major setback caused by the Sentebale row.

The Duke of Sussex was cleared off any wrongdoing by UK charity watchdog with regards to the African charity, four months after chair Dr Sophie Chandauka raised accusations of bullying, harassment and misogynoir.

Despite Harry being ‘utterly devastated’ about how his life’s work was dragged through the mud over a boardroom battle, the Sussexes are bringing attention to their Archewell Foundation, which they founded in 2020 to continue their charitable work after their royal exit.

On Thursday, the couple’s foundation released a fresh update how youth leadership is helping building a better world online and offline.

Civics Unplugged, an NGO, welcomed 25 high school fellows from across the country to Los Angeles for their second Civic Innovation Academy of the summer.

It was an immersive programme to train young leaders as they build a better future through “systems thinking, civic collaboration, and bold innovation”.

In details released by Archewell, the week-long programme was dubbed as “intensive” but explored “some of the most pressing issues facing modern cities–ranging from housing affordability and high-speed transportation to tech-forward energy abundance and climate-resilient infrastructure”

The attendees worked in small groups to develop five civically innovative proposals aimed at solving complex urban challenges.

Co-founder of Civics Unplugged shared how the organisation is “helping youth foster a new era of resilience and trust in order to build a more abundant future for everyone”, noting that the Academy “showed us just how ready our young leaders are to lead the way.”
