After declaring that the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan left them “speechless,” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have offered their support to an Afghan women’s organization.

They urged people to “take action” and donate to charities that help the poor. The British royals called for a united show of humanity from their followers, urging them to unite and support organizations that are “doing critical work” to aid people in need.

The statement on their Archewell website said: “The world is exceptionally fragile right now.

“As we all feel the many layers of pain due to the situation in Afghanistan, we are left speechless.

“As we all watch the growing humanitarian disaster in Haiti, and the threat of it worsening after last weekend’s earthquake, we are left heartbroken.

“And as we all witness the continuing global health crisis, exacerbated by new variants and constant misinformation, we are left scared.’

“When any person or community suffers, a piece of each of us does so with them, whether we realise it or not.”

Through their Archewell Foundation, Prince Harry and Meghan donated to Women for Afghan Women organization.

The charity recently praised the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Foundation for the significant contribution. The Women for Afghan Women (WAW) organization issued a thank you note on Instagram for the couple’s assistance in relocating families.

Women and girls are among those whose lives will be most affected by the Taliban’s fall from power in Afghanistan.

Last week, Archewell highlighted it as a cause in need of donations to assist “provide safe shelter, resources, and aid to displaced women and children in Afghanistan.”

“We are immensely grateful for the generosity of the Archewell Foundation in support of our efforts to evacuate/relocate thousands of Afghan women, children, families, including our staff,” the charity says in a post with the Archewell logo.

It’s worth noting that WAW is Afghanistan’s largest women’s organization. It has around 850 local employees that give assistance to women, children, and families all across the country. The charity’s mission is to change Afghanistan’s violent and oppressive traditions into ones of peace and equality.

The contribution came after Harry and Meghan released a statement claiming the Taliban’s progress across Afghanistan had left them “speechless.”

The value of the contribution is unclear.

Following their split from the British monarchy in 2020, Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 40, established their own charity organization.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed their displeasure with the situations in Afghanistan and Haiti, calling them “painful” and “heartbreaking.” Furthermore, they believe that they are terrified not just because of the aforementioned crises, but also because of the continuing coronavirus epidemic, which has been worsened by disinformation and new variations.

During his ten years in the army, Prince Harry served in Afghanistan on two occasions.

It comes after GB News’ Simon McCoy burst out laughing at Prince Harry and Meghan’s remarks on Afghanistan.

The Taliban’s quick conquest of Afghanistan, the terrible earthquake that struck Haiti, killing over 2,200 people, and the ongoing Covid-19 epidemic that has them “scared” were all mentioned in the statement.

The message went on to say that individuals should support organizations that are performing “critical work.”

“To start, we encourage you to join us in supporting a number of organisations doing critical work,” the statement reads. “We also urge those in positions of global influence to rapidly advance the humanitarian dialogues that are expected to take place this fall at multilateral gatherings such as the UN General Assembly and the G20 Leaders’ Summit.

“As an international community, it is the decisions we make now — to alleviate suffering among those we know and those we may never meet — that will prove our humanity.”
