He presided over their 2018 wedding and“The Duke and Duchess were able to speak to The Archbishop recently, and were moved to hear all about the work Feeding Britain was doing to support people during Covid-19,” the couple’s spokesperson added in a statement.

Their spokesperson said the couple has “particularly fond memories” of that trip, “especially the generosity and compassion of everyone working there to help others.”Harry and Meghan officially open 'Number 7', a 'Feeding Birkenhead' citizen’s supermarket and community café, on Jan. 14, 2019 in Birkenhead, England.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are now residing in Los Angeles after stepping back from their royal duties last month,“Like you, our focus is on supporting efforts to tackle the global Covid-19 pandemic but faced with this information coming to light, we felt compelled to share the story of how this came to be,” the Sussexes said in a statement about their new, nonprofit, to be called Archewell.
“Before SussexRoyal came the idea of ‘arche’ — the Greek word meaning ‘source of action,’” the couple continued. “We connected to this concept for the charitable organization 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.”
