(CNN) This year has seen Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex take part in a groundbreaking interview with Oprah Winfrey and welcome their second child into the world, all while scandals have swirled around the royal family they left behind. Now, they can add another major moment to their 2021 diary -- as Time has named them 'icons' in its annual list of the world's 100 most influential people. The couple appear on one of the multiple covers of Time's 100 issue, while others who grace the magazine's front page include Simone Biles, Billie Eilish and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala -- the first African woman to lead the World Trade Organization. Naomi Osaka, also named in Time's list, sparked discussion around mental health this year. Andrés praised the couple for the way they "take risks to help communities in need," by "offering mental health support to Black women and girls in the U.S., and feeding those affected by natural disasters in India and the Caribbean."
