It’s been kind of a weird back half of 2024 for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. American Riviera Orchard has yet to materialize beyond a smattering of jam deliveries, and while they looked oh so in love dancing the day away in Colombia over the summer, fall brought a bunch of solo outings, the resignation of a staffer, and reports that the couple is…buying a house in Portugal?
But all’s well that Arches well. The pair’s Archewell foundation just released a video compilation from the couple’s busy year of travel and speaking engagements—you have to go over to People to watch it, but the gist is that it’s about community-building and inspiration.
Britain’s Prince Harry (R), Duke of Sussex, and his wife Meghan Markle are pictured during a visit to the National Centre for the Arts in Bogota on August 15, 2024. Prince Harry and his wife, American actress Meghan Markle, arrived in Colombia at the invitation of Colombia’s vice-President Francia Marquez, with whom they will attend various meetings with women and young people to reject discrimination and cyberbullying.

Set to “A Sky Full of Stars” by Coldplay (duh), the video shows Meghan, Harry, and Meghan with Harry globe-trotting and interacting with the public. “A safer world is possible, and together we can, and will, make it happen,” says Harry during an official-looking address. “Because when you show up in community, you find that group that makes you feel like home, but oftentimes you also find yourself again,” says Meghan to a group of women gathered around a table. Later, Harry explains during some kind of speech, “Every single one of you inspire me and inspire us every single day, so please continue to be there to support each other. Here’s to ’25!” Indeed! The video coincides with the release of the Archewell Foundation’s Impact Report, which you can read here.
What’s next for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex? Well, a bunch more humanitarian work and travel, probably, but in terms of stuff you can consume from home, a Netflix documentary about Polo (the horse kind, not the water kind, and definitely not the explorer kind). It’ll be the last big splash (probably) for the family in 2024, coming out December 10.
