Time has revealed its and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are gracing the cover of the magazine’s print issue. The list is broken into six categories: Icons, Pioneers, Titans, Artists, Leaders, Innovators. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the list in the « Icons » category. In a profile about Harry and Meghan, who moved to the U.S. last year after stepping down from their roles in the Royal Family, chef Jose Andres spoke about the drive that motivates both of them. When Prince Harry was Apache helicopter gunner in the British military in 2013, he was conducting a now-viral interview when a loud bang rang out. « In one swift motion, he stands up, rips off his microphone and runs toward the action, » Andres writes. « That same sense of urgency drives Meghan, now the Duchess of Sussex, who has long been an active humanitarian and a powerful advocate for women and girls around the world, » Andres continued. Since finding each other, getting married and moving to California, the couple has founded Archewell, which has a production, audio and charity leg. « They don’t just opine. They run toward the struggle, » Andres writes. Joining the couple in the « Icon » category is country legend Dolly Parton, tennis star Naomi Osaka and siblings Muna and Mohammed el Kurd, both Palestinian activists.
