Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have failed to endorse Kamala Harris in their latest statement.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex urged US citizens to register to vote ahead of the deadline.
Meghan, 43, is known to be supportive of the Democrats, having called Donald Trump “misogynistic” and “divisive” ahead of the 2016 election.
However, the Sussexes failed to back either candidate in a carefully worded statement through their Archewell Foundation.

Their statement read: “In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The Archewell Foundation team came together for a meaningful volunteer activity to support and empower our communities.
“Using Vote Forward’s impactful letter-writing tool, our team wrote personalised letters encouraging unregistered voters to take a crucial step: registering to vote.
“Voting is not just a right; it’s a fundamental way to influence the fate of our communities.
“At The Archewell Foundation, we recognize that civic engagement, no matter one’s political party, is at the heart of a more just and equitable world.

“By participating in initiatives like this, we aim to amplify the message that every voice matters.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not publicly endorse either candidate ahead of the upcoming US election.
As members of the Royal Family, Harry and Meghan were required to remain politically neutral.
But since quitting the institution in 2020, they are free to make their feelings known.

Harris, 59, may have expected a personal endorsement from the Duchess of Sussex to help boost her campaign having previously spoken of her admiration for the actress.
Four years ago, Meghan heaped praise on Harris, saying she was “so excited” about the prospect of a woman of colour becoming Vice President.
Meghan added: “You know, for me, being biracial, growing up, whether it was a doll or a person in office, you need to see someone who looks like you in some capacity.
“As many of us believe, you can only be what you can see. And in the absence of that, how can you aspire to something greater than what you see in your own world?”

Republican candidate Donald Trump has been very critical towards the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
After Meghan appeared to encourage Americans to vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 election, Trump said: “I’m not a fan of hers.
“I wish a lot of luck to Harry, he’s going to need it.”
Donald’s son Eric Trump branded the Sussexes “spoiled apples” during an interview with GB News earlier this year.
