Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a new statement ahead of the US election.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have urged Americans to register to vote ahead of the upcoming deadline.


In a statement posted on their Archewell website they said: "In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The Archewell Foundation team came together for a meaningful volunteer activity to support and empower our communities.

"Using Vote Forward’s impactful letter-writing tool, our team wrote personalised letters encouraging unregistered voters to take a crucial step: registering to vote.

"Voting is not just a right; it’s a fundamental way to influence the fate of our communities.

"At The Archewell Foundation, we recognize that civic engagement, no matter one’s political party, is at the heart of a more just and equitable world.

"By participating in initiatives like this, we aim to amplify the message that every voice matters."

The couple's statement ahead of the US election comes within hours of Harry confirming his next visit to the UK.

Prince Harry has been WellChild Patron for 16 years, raising awareness and financial contributions to ensure the charity can improve the quality of life for seriously ill children and their families.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not publicly endorsed a candidate ahead of the upcoming US election.

However, Republican candidate Donald Trump has previously criticised the couple.

Donald's son Eric Trump branded the Sussexes "spoiled apples" during an exclusive interview with GB News earlier this year.

Donald Trump is going head to head with Democrat candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming Presidential election.
