However, a pressing question arises regarding the financial support Archewell has actually offered to these causes. Surprisingly, the tax report released shortly after the impact report does not corroborate the stated contributions. There's no mention of the funding amount, leading to doubts about the authenticity of the partnerships and the extent of Archewell's financial commitment. The organizations they claim to have supported might not be receiving any real funding from Archewell.
The rest of the report, while filled with self-congratulatory language, doesn't convincingly back up their claims. Terms like "partnered with," "supported," "highlighted," and "promoted" often suggest minimal involvement beyond PR efforts. It's crucial to remember that such a self-produced report primarily functions as a PR tool. The actual financial documents revealing the funding details remain undisclosed
Furthermore, when the report mentions the Welcome Project, stating that 98.8% of participants developed meaningful relationships, it's unclear how this figure was determined. This suggests that the project is not Archewell's own but one they're featuring. It seems much of Archewell's claimed achievements might actually be the work of other organizations, with Prince Harry and Meghan possibly contributing nominal amounts for tax benefits while claiming these efforts as their own.
These issues emerge amid increasing pressure on the couple to produce results in 2024, as their popularity in Hollywood appears to wane. Their business ventures, including a terminated Spotify deal, have faced challenges. Crisis manager Mark Bowski has indicated the need for a significant change, questioning the effectiveness of their brand. The future of their Hollywood presence is uncertain, with big plans promised but delivery yet to be seen.
