The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have called on Americans to make their voices heard by registering to vote in the upcoming US election.
Meghan said from their $14million dollar Santa Barbara home’s back garden:
“We’re just six weeks out from Election Day, and today is National Voter Registration Day. Every four years, we are told the same thing, that ‘This is the most important election of our lifetime’. But this one is. When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard. Your voice is a reminder that you matter. Because you do. And you deserve to be heard.”
Harry, who is not a US citizen, noted that he will not be able to vote this year before noting that he has also never voted in the UK as royals are typically expected to remain politically neutral.
He also urged Americans to be mindful of the type of information they consume both on and offline.
“When the bad outweighs the good, for many, whether we realise it or not, it erodes our ability to have compassion and our ability to put ourself in someone else’s shoes.
Because when one person buys into negativity online, the effects are felt exponentially. It’s time to not only reflect, but act. As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.”
Meghan then jumped in to finish saying: “So as we work to re-imagine the world around us, let’s challenge ourselves to build communities of compassion. Seeing our world through the lens of community is so important. Because we need to redraw the lines of how we engage with each other, both online and off.
“What we’re exposed to online seeps into how we engage with each other offline. It can train us to be kind, or it can train us to be cruel.”
Taking part in politics is against Royal protocol with many suggesting they should now be stripped of all titles in what is a further humiliation for HM The Queen.
