Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Release Statement About Coronavirus (COVID-19) Fears

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reached out to their social media fans and followers to assure them that together, we will make it through these uncertain times. As a matter of fact, the Duke and Duchess shared a lengthy post about the coronavirus outbreak and the importance of coming together as a community to help one another as many are facing perhaps one of the biggest challenges of their lives. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles meanwhile, are yet to post anything or make a statement about the novel virus, which has now infected over 200,000 and killed 8,000 to date.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Release Statement About Covid-19 Coronavirus Fears

After their whirlwind farewell tour in London last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, along with their 10-month-old son Archie Harrison, are said to be social distancing themselves in the multi-million dollar Vancouver Island mansion that they are currently living in. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex completed their last round of royal engagements and public appearances last week, as they are no longer considered working members of the firm. Instead, the couple plans to work on their own brand and projects in the coming months.

Even though it was reported that Queen Elizabeth has cleared her schedule because of the coronavirus outbreak, Buckingham Palace is yet to make any statements about the matter. Harry and Meghan didn’t waste any time to reach out to their Instagram fans to let them know that they are thinking about them and that they plan on using their social media account to share inspiring stories as they say they believe “this moment is as true a testament there is to the human spirit.”

Their post also said, “These are uncertain times. And now, more than ever, we need each other. We need each other for truth, for support, and to feel less alone during a time that can honestly feel quite scary. There are so many around the world who need support right now, who are working tirelessly to respond to this crisis behind the scenes, on the frontline, or at home. Our willingness, as a people, to step up in the face of what we are all experiencing with COVID-19 is awe-inspiring. This moment is as true a testament there is to the human spirit.”

Harry and Meghan have not made any additional comments about the matter but added that they will be posting regularly throughout the next several weeks. We will update you with all of the latest information as it comes in.

These are uncertain times. And now, more than ever, we need each other. We need each other for truth, for support, and to feel less alone during a time that can honestly feel quite scary. There are so many around the world who need support right now, who are working tirelessly to respond to this crisis behind the scenes, on the frontline, or at home. Our willingness, as a people, to step up in the face of what we are all experiencing with COVID-19 is awe-inspiring. This moment is as true a testament there is to the human spirit. We often speak of compassion. All of our lives are in some way affected by this, uniting each of us globally. How we approach each other and our communities with empathy and kindness is indisputably important right now. Over the coming weeks, this will be our guiding principle. We will be sharing information and resources to help all of us navigate the uncertainty: from posting accurate information and facts from trusted experts, to learning about measures we can take to keep ourselves and our families healthy, to working with organisations that can support our mental and emotional well-being. In addition, we will focus on the inspiring stories of how so many of you around the world are connecting in ways big and small to lift all of us up. We are all in this together, and as a global community we can support each other through this process – and build a digital neighbourhood that feels safe for every one of us. We look forward to sharing more over the days and weeks to come…
