The Duke and Duchess of Sussexe Support Navy SEAL Foundation’s New Facility for Veterans.

On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made a rare appearance in San Diego to support the Navy SEAL Foundation’s newest facility for veterans. The Sussexes, along with Navy SEAL Foundation leaders, veterans and their families, officially opened the Warrior Fitness Program West Coast Facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The facility features state-of-the-art fitness and workout resources, rehabilitation technology and advanced biometric tracking systems. It aims to optimize human performance for warriors on the battlefield, transitioning to civilian life, or retired from service.



The Navy SEAL Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides critical support for the warriors, veterans, and families of Naval Special Warfare. The Foundation has a four-star rating from Charity Navigator and a perfect score from Guide Star, indicating its transparency and accountability. The Foundation offers various programs and services to address the needs of the Naval Special Warfare community, such as strength and resilience, health and wellness, education and development, and community and legacy.


The Warrior Fitness Program is one of the Foundation’s initiatives to enhance the physical and mental wellness of the Naval Special Warfare personnel and veterans. The program was launched in 2020 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and has since expanded to San Diego, California. The program provides access to world-class fitness facilities, coaches, trainers, nutritionists, and therapists. The program also incorporates biometric data and feedback to monitor and improve the performance and recovery of the participants. The program is designed to help the warriors and veterans achieve their personal and professional goals, whether they are preparing for a mission, transitioning to a new career, or enjoying retirement.

The Sussexes have been vocal supporters of various U.S. veterans foundations since moving to California in 2020. Prince Harry, who served in the British Army for 10 years and completed two tours in Afghanistan, has a personal connection to the military and veteran community. He is the founder of the Invictus Games, an international sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick service members and veterans. He also attended the Department of Defense’s annual Warrior Games at Naval Station North Island in June 2023, where he met and cheered for the athletes. In addition, he made a surprise appearance at a Chula Vista movie theater in August 2023, where he spoke to the attendees and posed for selfies before a screening of his Netflix docuseries, “Heart of Invictus.”


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed their gratitude and admiration for the Navy SEAL Foundation and the Naval Special Warfare community at the opening ceremony of the Warrior Fitness Program West Coast Facility. They also interacted with the 250 Naval Special Warfare personnel and their families who attended the event. The Sussexes said they were honored to be part of the celebration and to witness the impact of the program on the lives of the warriors and veterans. They also encouraged the public to learn more about the Navy SEAL Foundation and to support its mission of providing a nation of support for the Naval Special Warfare community.

ON October 5th, Sussex Squad and Harry and Meghan’s supporters, journalists, and even their “haters” couldn’t stop expressing their happiness when the news came that Harry and Meghan would be in New York. Everyone is happy because, hey, glamour, sophistication, and fashion? To say that Harry and Meghan are going to deliver would be an understatement. Looks like just as September was successful for them, October will also be the month of the Sussexes. I wouldn’t dare plan any event considering how September was successful for them because I would be overshadowed by Harry and Meghan. But hey, that’s just me.

People Magazine had exclusive details about the event .

‘The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Princess Meghan, will be returning to New York City to host their first in-person event for the Archewell Foundation. Taking place on World Mental Health Day, the event called ‘The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age’ aims to address the challenges faced by parents in the digital era. It will provide a platform for families to discuss and find solutions to create a safer online environment for children and teenagers. The summit will feature parents who have experienced tragic losses related to their child’s social media use, and Meghan and Harry have been working with them to support their mission in preventing similar incidents from happening to other families. Together, they seek to share personal experiences, research, and data to empower and uplift the collective mental well-being of families.’

‘Prince Harry and Princess Meghan will be alongside Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. The event is also part of Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival long partnership with Archewell. The Archewell Foundation, founded by Harry and Meghan, focuses on uplifting communities, building a better online world, and restoring trust in information. The couple has been actively involved in promoting mental health awareness, including speaking openly about their own struggles. They have supported initiatives, podcasts, and docuseries that aim to address the stigma surrounding mental health. In addition, they have engaged with youth groups to understand the impact of societal pressures and social media on mental well-being. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to advocate for mental health and provide resources for those in need.’
