Dear Meghan and Harry,
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous son with the world and allowing us to join you in celebrating his first birthday.
We are humbled and grateful that you chose @savewithstories (opens in new tab) to mark this special day and in so doing—have raised the visibility of @savethechildren (opens in new tab)’s work in the US and UK and have helped feed and educate children in desperate need of both.
More than anything—watching you lovingly talk through the pictures while your clever Archie turns the pages—lifts all of us up and reminds us that what may seem like a duck just might turn out to be a rabbit. Thank you for this joyful and meaningful shift in perspective.
Best,
Jen
