Prince Harry & Ms. Meghan Markle are incredibly grateful for the goodwill they have received since their engagement, & have asked that anyone who might wish to mark the occasion of their wedding considers giving to charity, instead of sending a gift. http://www.royal.uk/wedding-charity-donations …pic.twitter.com/nxrTZtIKBY
The couple have personally chosen 7 charities which represent a range of issues that they are passionate about, including sport for social change, women's empowerment, conservation, the environment, homelessness, HIV and the Armed Forces.
The charities include @chivaprojects, which supports children growing up with HIV and their families. The charity helps to create a more hopeful and optimistic future for them, ensuring they achieve their greatest potential. http://www.chiva.org.uk pic.twitter.com/BvnZjmzPOl
.@crisis_uk has also been chosen by the couple. Crisis helps people directly out of homelessness, working side by side with thousands of people each year to help them rebuild their lives and leave homelessness behind for good. http://www.crisis.org.uk pic.twitter.com/DTPsARVdc9
Next up is @MynaMahila, which empowers women in Mumbai's slums by providing them with a trusted network, stable employment & the chance to grow as individuals & businesswomen, and breaks taboos around menstrual hygiene. https://mynamahila.com/ pic.twitter.com/eIG3GP6bW7
The charity gives women access to low-cost sanitary pads at their doorstep, which helps mothers in these communities equip their daughters to stay in school. Ms. Markle visited @MynaMahila in January last year & wrote about it in @TIME: http://time.com/4694568/meghan-markle-period-stigma/ …
The couple have also chosen @CorporalScotty, a charity that offers vital support and activities to children who have lost a parent while serving in the British Armed Forces, helping them to smile again. http://scottyslittlesoldiers.co.uk/ pic.twitter.com/G6CISr2TvU
Also selected is @StreetGames, a charity which uses sport to empower young people to kick-start a cycle of positive change in their own lives. Prince Harry and Ms. Markle visited one of the charity's projects together in Cardiff earlier this year. http://www.streetgames.org pic.twitter.com/0XQJOL6iNj
A lot of couples have people donate to charities in lieu of gifts. They are not the first to do this. It doesn’t make them special.
It is a nice gesture and in a time or so many awful gestures we should amplify the nice.
And they've probably just inspired a whole lot more people to do it.
Oh dear. I can see that you're quite distressed that Prince Harry is so deliriously happy with his gorgeous and accomplished bride-to-be, Meghan. You should pace yourself though. It can only get worse for you as they bubble over with romantic bliss ahead of the royal wedding!pic.twitter.com/Pke72eJor5
Beautiful tweet, O4. Meghan didn’t “stop her dead”... her racism did. She should be worried about karma paying her a visit after that comment.
Stop pulling the race card. I don’t mind Harry marrying a black woman... just not this gold-digging Markle. Harry-Rihanna would make a cute couple... #notoracism
Sure you would you fetid bigot. I've seen the memes you're propagating about the woman who WILL be in the ROYAL FAMILY and, I hope, having a SOCCER TEAM'S WORTH of beautiful babies.
Also, pretty sure I am at liberty to tell you to keep @rihanna's name out your bigot mouth.
I will not stoop down to your level. I have black friends and they are nice people. #notoracismpic.twitter.com/Ucy8SFuDcS
Because she American or African American? You know Queen Charlotte was part African, right?
It's a legit question to ask, since there HAVE been people obsessing about that. I'm not a royalist, but have great respect for the royal family. She & Harry absolutely adore each other & her life as an actress has helped prep her for that spotlight. So, again, why?
Ah, so you prefer inbreeding forever? I would say she's actually more qualified right now than Princess Diana was when she wed Prince Charles. She's older, more mature, and has a background dealing with public life.
