In a statement on their Archewell website, the royal couple encouraged donations from the public to benefit Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which is working to ensure that people in all corners of the world can get equitable access to the COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of their wealth or circumstance.
The Sussexes began: "We have been deeply touched over the past two years to feel the warmth and support for our family in honor of Archie's birthday". You can read their full message here.

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on 6 May 2019 at the Portland Hospital in London. He is currently seventh-in-line to the throne behind his father, Prince Harry.
Since his birth, Archie has only made a handful of public appearances, with the royal couple sharing footage of their son playing on a beach during their Oprah Winfrey documentary, which aired in March. On his first birthday last year, the couple shared an adorable video of Meghan reading Duck! Rabbit! to her son, who giggled at dad Harry behind the camera.
