The Duke and Duchess of Sussex created the foundation to support their charitable work and confirmed the name change on December 19.
In a statement, the non-profit organization said the new name is intended to expand its “meaningful reach.”
A New Chapter for the Foundation
The statement read:
“This next chapter allows Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to broaden their global philanthropic efforts as a family, with meaningful reach and maximum impact, grounded in the same values, partnerships, and their commitment to show up and do good.”
After relocating to the United States, the couple launched the foundation, naming it after their son, Archie. They have since welcomed a daughter, Lilibet, and recently shared a holiday family photo that sparked public interest.
Introducing Archewell Philanthropies
Elsewhere on the foundation’s website, it was revealed that the organization will now be known as Archewell Philanthropies.
The site stated:
“After five beautiful years, the Archewell Foundation is becoming Archewell Philanthropies. This charitable entity allows the couple and their children to expand upon their global philanthropic endeavors as a family.”
