Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a joint statement ahead of their trip to Canada.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Foundation, which the couple founded in 2020, posted a new statement on its website about Black History Month.

The statement read: “At The Archewell Foundation, we celebrate the rich culture and contributions of those who have come before us throughout history.

As we mark Black History Month, we encourage everyone to learn and reflect on the contributions of leaders, activists, and changemakers who have inspired progress.

Taking the time to appreciate stories, art, history, and culture not only honors the communities that have built these spaces, but also contributes to our collective wellbeing.”

Harry and Meghan’s Foundation also compiled a list of resources where their followers can learn about Black History Month.

The Sussexes’ statement comes just days ahead of their trip to Canada for the Invictus Games.

The Games are being held in Vancouver Whistler and are expected to be attended by both the Duke and Duchess

A source told the Express: “There will be a renewed focus on the Sussexes as a couple, as a brand and showcasing them as a couple and family.

The Sussexes have decided to step back a little and let Ashley take the reins on their PR plan.”

Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, will both attend the Invictus Games opening ceremony, according to the source.

Katy Perry will perform at the opening ceremony along with Noah Kahan, Nelly Furtado, and Coldplay’s Chris Martin.

The source continued: “It was important for the Sussexes to appear together at such a worthwhile event.

The Invictus Games is a Sussex initiative and something they want their children to continue once they get older.”

It is not known if Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, will accompany their parents to Canada.
