When one thinks of Harry and Meghan, the image often conjured is of them seated beside Oprah Winfrey. Kinsey Scoffield, an expert commentator on GB News, pointed out this perception. While the couple has often drawn parallels between themselves and Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, Scoffield believes there are flaws in this comparison. The constant complaints, glossy Netflix billboards, and other elements of their branding set them apart from the legacy of Princess Diana.
Upon departing the UK, the Sussexes embarked on a journey to profit from their family drama. In addition to other sources of income, they have been associated with charitable funding. Recently, Meghan and Harry released a mission statement indicating their support for ethical journalism. However, there are concerns about their approach, given their limited involvement in charity work and the excessive salaries of their staff.
Notably, James Holt received a notably high salary, amounting to a staggering 277% increase. This substantial increase in his compensation was allegedly linked to his role in helping Meghan and Harry obscure a significant sum of money, which Lady C contends was obtained from charity sources. She suggests that Prince Charles initially contributed millions as donations, with the funds then being moved to a holding account. This maneuver not only garnered interest but also facilitated tax benefits for the named account holders. Subsequently, the funds were redirected into the Archwell account.
Lady C raised concerns about the income balance, noting a lack of interest income despite a substantial cash balance. This raised questions about how an organization could have $8 million in cash but only earn $4,141 in interest. Such a low return on capital would be widely criticized in the context of a US charity.
Furthermore, Lady C questioned the staffing of three full-time employees, deeming it excessive based on the cited projects. Additionally, public donations of $91 raised concerns, particularly when compared to Archwell's legal costs, which did not seem to align with the reported projects.
In essence, Lady C suggests that Meghan and Harry may be the primary source of the donations, allowing them to benefit from tax breaks personally. The funds are allegedly moved strategically between accounts, ultimately raising questions about their financial practices. While these maneuvers may pass certain legal tests, they leave lingering doubts and raise ethical concerns in the eyes of some observers.
