Prince Harry and Meghan donate new roof to Texas women's shelter damaged in storm

Source: CNN

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, surprised Genesis Women's Shelter & Support in Dallas on Sunday with a donation to fix the roof of its transitional housing complex and help with other urgent needs.

"We were notified that through the actions of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's nonprofit, Archewell Foundation, Prince Harry and Meghan will make a donation to help us get back on our feet," the shelter's CEO, Jan Langbein, said in a statement.

This women's shelter is one of the charities Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle have supported since officially giving up royal duties.

Beyond the roof repairs, the money from the couple's foundation will go toward the shelter's immediate emergency response needs, the shelter said.

A bit lazy of CNN - they’ve given up their titles as far as I know.

As I understand reports, they have only given the HRH part of their titles. This also means they no longer receive money from the government and must support themselves.

HRH Prince Harry (Henry), The Duke of Sussex

HRH Meghan, Princess Henry, The Duchess of Sussex

It would take an act of Parliament to revoke their titles, which is not going to happen.

Prince Harry was born HRH Prince Henry. His wife, Meghan, receives her titles and styles through marriage, which is why she has the titles of HRH Princess Henry and HRH Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.

If Harry had not received a Royal Dukedom upon marriage, Meghan would simply be titled HRH Princess Henry. However, Since a Royal Dukedom is a higher rank than a Royal Prince, she is styled as HRH Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. But, now they are not using the HRH part as part of their professional working life and career.

Always Jamie Lee-Curtis. Then again she's not into the honors bestowed upon her husband's family. Her husband The Right Honourable Baron Haden-Guest is famous for turning up his Marshall amp to 11.

Harry and Meghan are doing more for Texas than the "gentlemen" Texans have elected to public office. Of course, that is a low bar.

Is this really LBN? What are the criteria for LBN? Some are regularly locked out, but this isn’t?
