Though Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will no longer be working royals, they are still making their presence felt as public figures. Amid the panic and chaos caused by the coronavirus scare, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently posted an uplifting message on their social media to tell their followers to support each other in these uncertain times.

Prince Harry and Meghan shared an inspirational quote that acknowledged the human spirit as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread around the world. They said that building a "digital neighborhood" is essential today as the public need each other for support and to feel less alone while on quarantine or a lockdown.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said that they are inspired to see many people stepping up to help those affected by COVID-19, especially in the frontlines. They also relayed that they will continue to share their resources in the coming weeks, in the form of expert tips and advice on social media, as most of their followers are staying home.

Prince Harry and Meghan said that it's still important to ascertain people's mental health and well-being in this health crisis. Thus, this will be the Sussex royals' guiding principle in the next few weeks.

Some of the Sussex royals' 11.7 million followers on Instagram thanked the couple for their uplifting message. They acknowledged the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for using their platform positively.

However, Prince Harry and Meghan were also criticized for their "ridiculous" message. One commenter asked Meghan about supporting her estranged dad or giving respects to Queen Elizabeth.

Prince Harry and Meghan are currently holed up in their home in Vancouver, Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has enforced a lockdown to prevent the virus spread.

The Sussexes are supposed to have some public appearances in the next few weeks but their plans might be canceled as the pandemic accelerates globally. Prince Harry's trip back to London in April is no longer pushing through since the London Marathon organizers have postponed the public event for October.

Reports from The Guardian revealed that the Duke of Sussex may have been exposed to COVID-19 while attending a royal event in London last March 6. He hugged Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, who was with Idris Elba and Sophie Trudeau at an earlier event. Both celebrities came out this week to confirm that they are positive for COVID-19 and they are now in self-isolation.
