New photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been shared as Prince Harry marked his 37th birthday on Wednesday.

Harry and Meghan have made this year's Time 100 Most Influential People of 2021 list with a short profile written by chef José Andrés, who is founder of World Central Kitchen.

The Sussexes' Archewell Foundation has partnered with the non-profit organisation, that helps feed communities worldwide, including in the aftermath of natural disasters.

Chef José Andrés praised Harry and Meghan for their charitable work 

In the piece for Time Magazine, José writes: "In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don't know, the Duke and Duchess have compassion for the people they don't know. They don't just opine. They run toward the struggle."

Prince Harry and Meghan are joined by six other worldwide covers: gymnast Simone Biles, actor Kate Winslet, singer-songwriter Billie Eillish, director-general of the World Trade Organization Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, CEO of NVIDIA Jensen Huang and writer Cathy Park Hong.

To mark Harry's birthday on Wednesday, the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge all shared touching photos and messages on their social media accounts.
