Name game...

Meghan with

Archie and,

PRINCE Harry and Meghan are

planning to launch a charity called

Archewell after they were forced

to drop their Sussex Royal name.

The couple have filed paperwork

in the US to set up the non-profit

organisation, which will be used to

run emotional-support groups and

education projects.

They said its launch will go

ahead “when the time is right”.

Arche means “source of action”

in ancient Greek, although it can

also mean superiority.

The word inspired the name of

their 11-month-old son Archie, the

Duke and Duchess of Sussex said.

They added that their plans

to launch Archewell have been

put on hold because of the corona-

virus crisis.

Their plans include a wide-

ranging website and sharing “edu-

cation and training materials” via

films, podcasts and books. They

also hope to set up volunteering

services when the crisis ends.

In a statement after their paper-

work for Arche was revealed by

a newspaper, Harry, 35, and

Meghan, 38, said they are

focusing their efforts on the pan-

demic. However they said they felt

compelled to reveal details of their

forthcoming venture. The couple,

who are currently looking for a

home in Los Angeles, added: “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.

“Before Sussex Royal came the

idea of Arche – the Greek word

meaning source of action.

“We connected to this

concept for the charitable

organisation we hoped to

build one day, and it

became the inspiration

for our son’s name –

to do something of

meaning, to do some-

thing 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. We

look forward to launching

Archewell when the time is

right.” Harry and Meghan moved

to LA with Archie last

month after ending their

stay at a waterfront man-

sion on Vancouver Island,

Canada. They began a new

life after choosing financial

independence over staying

as working members of the

Royal Family.

They were made to change

their Sussex Royal brand after

the Queen and senior officials

reportedly ordered them to drop

the use of the word royal. Last

week, Harry and Meghan bowed

out of the Royal Family with a

final post on their official Sussex

Royal Instagram account, which

will now remain inactive along

with their website.

The Duke and Duchess have

delayed announcing a new handle

and brand for their Instagram

account, which has 11.3 million

followers. Their spokeswoman

said that they wanted the focus

to remain on the global response

to coronavirus.

Wordsworth felt moved by nature’s power

Sheer poetry of Charles’s tribute to Wordsworth

CHARLES reminded Britons of our

nation’s natural beauty yesterday as he

read a poem by William Wordsworth.

The heir to the throne marked the

250th anniversary of Wordsworth’s birth

by reading an excerpt from one of his

best-known works, Tintern Abbey.

Charles told Radio 4’s Today

programme of his love for the Wye Valley

on the England-Wales border, where

the poem is set.

The Prince, patron of The Wordsworth

Trust since 1996, said: “I can understand

so well the way in which for Wordsworth

and a lot of other people the power of

the landscape to move us is profound.”

Wordsworth was born on April 7, 1770

and became a celebrated English

Charles and
