Oprah Leaves Archewell as Meghan Markle Allegedly Steals $10M from Charity; Prince Harry and Meghan Abandon Invictus Games

The recent tax disclosure from the Archewell Foundation, associated with Meghan and Harry, has stirred up quite a controversy, and unfortunately, it's far from positive. Oprah, who was once a generous donor, seems to have reached a breaking point and decided to cut off her funding. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is facing serious allegations of hoarding a staggering $10 million, which is seriously tarnishing her reputation as a philanthropist. The foundation, which has been riding high on the wave of royal philanthropy, now finds itself in a precarious financial situation. They've attempted to present themselves as more than just an organization throwing money at problems, but their recent financial report tells a different, less flattering story.

Let's delve into the numbers. Donations have plummeted by a shocking 81% since Oprah ceased her contributions. It's not just a dip; it's more like a freefall. Moreover, the foundation's overhead costs have skyrocketed to alarming levels, and the reasons behind these expenditures are baffling at best and irresponsible at worst. Employee expenses have surged by 60%, with some employees taking on roles in both the profit and nonprofit sectors of Archewell. Given that their for-profit ventures with Spotify and Netflix aren't exactly bringing in substantial revenues, these employees are relying heavily on the dwindling funds of the nonprofit arm.

 In 2022, the foundation received a paltry 15% of the funds they received in the previous year. The grants they distributed have also taken a nosedive, dropping by over 50%. But here's the kicker: their non-grant related expenses have shot through the roof, jumping from $890,000 in 2021 to a staggering $1.4 million in 2022. Employee-related expenses alone ballooned from $163,000 to a whopping $640,000. It raises the question of why a charity, which received only $2 million in donations, would need to allocate nearly a quarter of that to three full-time employees. It's not just questionable; it's bordering on the absurd.

And let's not forget the fees for independent contractors, which also saw a significant increase, climbing from $325,000 in 2021 to $428,000 in 2022. As the foundation's funds have dwindled significantly, dropping from $13 million in 2021 to a mere $2 million in 2022, one can't help but wonder about the rationale behind ramping up their spending.

Now, regarding the mysterious $10 million that Meghan allegedly pocketed, it's conspicuously absent from the tax forms. This absence raises serious suspicions. To make matters worse, the Sussexes, who often tout their philanthropic efforts, haven't contributed a single penny to the Invictus Games or WellChild. This omission is a direct contradiction to the causes they claim to champion. The lack of donations to previously supported groups like World Central Kitchen only adds more red flags.

All of these discrepancies beg the question: What are Meghan and Harry truly up to with Archewell? The numbers don't lie, and they paint a picture of a foundation that seems more focused on self-serving interests than genuine, selfless giving. This situation isn't merely a public relations disaster; it's become a case study in how not to manage a charitable organization. The Sussexes need to take swift action to rectify this situation; otherwise, their foundation's credibility will continue to erode, along with their funds. If they don't act promptly, they might find themselves without a foundation and with a severely damaged reputation.
