Alongside them resharing a post from the Disasters Emergency Committee, the husband-and-wife duo penned: "Through this vitally important appeal, @disastersemergencycommitee will be supporting people across Pakistan who have been impacted by this devastating climate disaster. Thank you for your generosity."

The committee has just launched their Pakistan Floods Appeal, to help tackle the disaster which according to the organisation has seen 30 million people affected, as well as a third of the country currently being underwater. Not to mention, the lives, homes and livelihoods which have been lost.

The Duke and Duchess took to social media

This is the first time the Duke and Duchess have spoken out since Meghan Markle gave an interview to The Cut, where she divulged why her children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, whom she shares with Prince Harry, won't be educated in the UK.

Interviewer Allison P. Davis wrote: "Earlier in our conversation about her goals for the life she’s creating here, she’d remarked upon how, if Archie were in school in the U.K., she'd never be able to do school pickup and drop-off without it being a royal photo call with a press pen of 40 people snapping pictures."

Meghan said: "Sorry, I have a problem with that. That doesn’t make me obsessed with privacy. That makes me a strong and good parent protecting my child."

The interviewer does note that two moms do "double take" when Meghan arrives at the school dates, but it is no doubt less of a commotion that it would be at a UK school, where Meghan would be so well known.
