Prince Harry And Meghan Collaborate With Joe Biden's Daughter Ashley On Wellness Center Initiative

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have extended the impact of their Archewell Foundation into supporting women affected by trauma.

The royal couple recently teamed up with Ashley Biden, the daughter of US President Joe Biden, who owns a wellness hub in Philadelphia.

Unlike the typical wellness hub, the trio's partnership introduces an innovative approach to therapy to help the affected women.

People Magazine has revealed that Meghan and Harry's Archewell Foundation collaborated with Ashley Biden on her nonpartisan wellness initiative, which aims to help women overcome trauma.

According to the outlet, the governmental organization recently published its Impact Report for the 2023-2024 year, and within its pages, it referenced their support for a wellness center being run by the social worker daughter of the outgoing US president.

The report also highlighted that the Archewell Foundation is a founding partner of the Women's Wellness (Spa) Center, located in north Philadelphia.

Further proof of Meghan and Harry's support for the initiative was in their foundation's 2023 tax records, which showed that their organization had donated $250,000 to the Women's Wellness Space.

Concerning why Meghan and Harry collaborated with Ashley on the wellness center, the outlet reported that the initiative "aligns with Archewell Foundation's mission to elevate mental health, a core belief of the organization's work."

They also mentioned that the royal couple "resonated with the center's commitment to supporting women in need," which is unsurprising given Meghan's own involvement in numerous programs focused on women's empowerment.

"Drawing from her experience with the criminal justice system, Biden's initiative is inspired by her work with Mural Arts' Women's Reentry Program, providing support and opportunities for formerly incarcerated women," the Impact Report further said about Meghan and Harry'ss collaboration with Ashley.

It added, "The center aims to offer a safe haven and community for women impacted by trauma, providing resources such as nutritious food, exercise, meditation, and therapeutic interventions."

The therapeutic interventions include EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which Ashley once revealed helped her cope with the PTSD she experienced following the death of her brother, Beau Biden, in 2015.

Harry and Meghan are also involved in the Welcome Project, which supports programs for female immigrants from Afghanistan who have resettled in the US.

Launched in 2023 by the couple, the initiative has since expanded to 11 branches across nine states.

In an interview with Marie Claire, Meghan opened up about the project, describing it as "that perfect example of seeing an immediate need and then saying, 'Okay, how do you make this a much larger vision so it's not just a short term banding on a problem, but a long term solution?'"

Seeing how far the project has come, the "Suits" actress also noted that she is delighted to see the women "on the other side of what has been a really hard time for many of them, more than most can imagine."

Lately, Harry and Meghan have been making solo appearances at the initiatives they are involved in far more often than in the past.

While this shift in their public lives sparked rumors of potential trouble in their marriage, sources have insisted that this is not the case. Instead, they are simply choosing to separate their focus when it comes to their respective projects.

"An entrepreneurial and enterprise focus is going to be more the Duchess's priority, and the Duke will continue to champion his not-for-profit patronages," a close friend of the couple told People Magazine. "But there will be joint efforts around those cause-driven areas of work."

The source also shared that this new approach signals that the former senior royals are trying to ensure their kids are not neglected despite their full schedules.

"[It's] as much a reflection on parenting priorities, in that one of them stays behind with the children," said the insider.

According to Page Six, 2025 is going to be a great year for the Duchess of Sussex as her Netflix show and lifestyle brand will finally be released and officially launched.

Meghan's show, which is said to be centered around "cooking, gardening and entertaining," will be released "early 2025."

American Riviera Orchard, which the mother of two already teased with its own official Instagram page, will also be launched alongside the TV show.

"As far as Meghan being quiet, she's been in the background working on her entrepreneurial efforts," an industry insider told the news outlet about Meghan's projects.

"Both the Netflix project and her brand will come out within the same timeline in the New Year," they noted.

"It's going to be a good year for Meghan specifically, she's spent the majority of the year doing work behind the scenes to launch a project in the first few months of 2025," the insider added.
