Prince Harry, 36, and his wife, Meghan Markle, 40, have publicly commented on the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, the humanitarian crisis in Haiti, and the continuation of the coronavirus pandemic.
"The world is extremely fragile at the moment," the couple began on the website of their Archewell Foundation.
- While we feel layers of pain because of the situation in Afghanistan, we have no words. As we watch the humanitarian crisis in Haiti, exacerbated by last week’s quake, our hearts are broken. As we witness the continuation of the global health crisis, aggravated by new strains and constant misinformation, we are afraid - wrote Meghan and Harry.
They added that they do not think that ‘humans were created to live in suffering’ but that we ‘get used to accepting it’. They then called on everyone who can support organizations that can help in all of the above situations.
- We also encourage people in positions of global influence to accelerate the humanitarian negotiations announced for this fall, such as the UN General Assembly and the G20 Summit - the Duke and Duchess wrote.
"When any person or community suffers, a part of each of us suffers with them, whether we understand it or not," the statement said.
"The decisions we now make as an international community, to alleviate the suffering of those we know and those we may never meet, will be what will prove our humanity," Harry and Meghan concluded.
In addition to through the Archewell Foundation, Prince Harry has expressed his condemnation of Taliban rule and as a patron of the Invictus Games Foundation, which he founded.
