    • Harry and Meghan made their surprise appearance to discuss the importance of mental health during the coronavirus pandemic.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are out there, casually sliding into people's Zoom meetings and we're so here for it.

    On Wednesday, during a virtual staff meeting for Crisis Text Line, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex popped online for a surprise appearance to talk about the importance of mental health during the coronavirus pandemic.

    Ricky Neal, one of Crisis Text Line's Atlanta-based employees, shared a picture from the royally-crashed meeting on social media, writing, "It's not everyday that Meghan and Harry jump into your staff meeting & champion the work you do! Blessed to still be working during these crazy times!"

    Later, Neal followed up with a (now-private) tweet, saying, "Still shocked that Meghan and Harry took over our staff meeting yesterday!"

    Even though Neal's socials are now private, the picture of Harry and Meghan crashing his Zoom meeting is going to live forever on the internet, obviously—as it should.
