The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been working on a charitable foundation named Archewell — a name they say has a special tie to their son, Archie.

In a statement provided to Fox News, Meghan and Harry explain their upcoming charitable organization derived from the Greek word "arche" which means "source of action."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"We connected to this concept for the charitable organisation we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son’s name. To do something of meaning, to do something that matters. Archewell is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon," the statement reads.
