"When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard. Your voice is a reminder that you matter because you do and you deserve to be heard."
Prince Harry also urged people to vote saying it's vital to "reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity." And noted he was unable to vote in the US election.
"This election I'm not going to be able to vote here in the US, but many of you may not know that I haven't been able to vote in the UK my entire life. As we approach this November, it's vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity," Harry said.
