PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have broken their silence on the US presidential election as they wade into the debate.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday by getting the Archewell team to take part in a letter-writing activity.

Staff sent out letters to unregistered voters to encourage them to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

The statement said: “Voting is not just a right; it’s a fundamental way to influence the fate of our communities.

“At The Archewell Foundation, we recognise that civic engagement, no matter one’s political party, is at the heart of a more just and equitable world.

“By participating in initiatives like this, we aim to amplify the message that every voice matters.

“Together, let’s make sure every eligible voter is informed and empowered to participate in shaping America’s future.”

However, the statement stopped short of endorsing a candidate and the couple remain publicly neutral, reports the Telegraph.

Harry and Meghan simply invited readers to use their voice and volunteer time to write letters to unregistered voters.

The Duke and Duchess will remain neutral in the upcoming election after a public spat with Donald Trump back in 2020.

They were accused of endorsing Joe Biden in the last US election, as they filmed a video statement from the garden of their Montecito mansion, which they had only just moved into at the time.

The couple called the presidential election “the most important of our life” while Harry urged voters to “reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity”.

The comments were seen as an attack on Donald Trump and the then President hit back, saying he was not a Meghan fan.

The Duke said at the time: “This election I am not able to vote in the US.

“But many of you may not know that I haven’t been able to vote in the UK my entire life.

“As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.”

While Harry and Meghan did not name their favoured candidate, many viewers thought it “obvious” they were backing Biden over Trump.

The Sussexes were also accused of “violating” the terms of their Megxit deal.

Harry and Meghan had pledged to “uphold the values of Her Majesty” after leaving the royal family.

In the aftermath, Republicans and other critics called on the Royal Family to strip the couple of their titles, calling the interference of the Duke and Duchess “‘inappropriate”.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said at the time: “We would not comment. The Duke is not a working member of the Royal Family and any comments he makes are made in a personal capacity.”
