Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are at the center of a charity scandal after more than $6 million reportedly went missing from their Archewell Foundation. Recent filings with the IRS revealed discrepancies in donations received, as two organizations claimed to have given sizable amounts—Fidelity Charitable donated $6 million, while TisBest Philanthropy provided $10,050. However, Archewell reported receiving only two $1 million grants from anonymous donors, leading to growing concerns over the foundation’s financial transparency.
Questions about Archewell’s financial management have intensified following reports that the foundation failed to file required paperwork with the State of California, resulting in a temporary ban on fundraising. The foundation attributed the delay to administrative errors, citing a lost check and processing delays by the California Attorney General’s office. However, the damage to the couple’s reputation has been exacerbated, particularly as this follows their exit from royal duties, which has been plagued by ongoing public scrutiny.
This latest controversy adds to a series of setbacks for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, including the loss of a $20 million deal with Spotify and alleged tensions over their $100 million contract with Netflix. Insiders suggest that their for-profit ventures and charitable efforts have struggled to gain traction, with one source noting that “everything Harry and Meghan touch seems to turn into a problem.”
