Prince Harry and Meghan Markle launch Archewell charity website

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have launched the website for their new Archewell charity.

Archewell replaces the couple's SussexRoyal Foundation, which was been formally wound up.

People interested in the venture are invited to submit their email address to the new "landing page" of the website and receive updates about activities and initiatives.

Harry and Meghan previously revealed the Greek word in the project Arche - meaning source of action - was the inspiration behind the name of their son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.

According to the website, the 'well' part of the charity name refers to "a plentiful source or supply; a place we go to dig deep".

Speaking at the time the charity project was first announced in April, the couple said: "Before SussexRoyal, came the idea of Arche - the Greek word meaning source of action.

"We connected to this concept for the charitable organisation we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son's name. To do something of meaning, to do something that matters.

"Archewell is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon."

Meghan and Harry's website was launched to coincide with the couple’s appearance on Tuesday on the Time100 Talks, when they spoke about the “global crisis” of misinformation that spreads online.

Harry warned: "What I see is the digital space hampering the progress that needs to be made.

"This misinformation that seems to snowball from one place that is the online space and then ending up in our physical world, a lot of the time we don't know where it comes from, we don't know how to trace it back."

The couple, who live in California after stepping down as working royals for financial freedom, also talked about how the internet affected critical issues from racial equality to mental health.

They have been working behind the scenes on the foundation, which is expected to champion issues they support such as racial justice, gender equity, climate change, mental health and online hate speech.

Academics and professors from Stanford University also took part in a brainstorming session with the couple as they developed their project.

After signing a lucrative deal with streaming giant Netflix, rumoured to be worth more than £150 million, the duke and duchess have the funds to enact their ideas.
