While Archewell received $13 million in donations in 2021, it logged just a little more than $2 million in 2022, and nearly 100% of those came from just two unnamed donors. However, it's not all bad news. Despite the drop, their philanthropic organization still holds over $8.3 million in assets. In 2020, Archewell reported receiving only $50,000 in donations while their expenditures exceeded this amount, with more than $55,000 spent on legal fees. These legal fees were related to the creation and dissolution of their previous charities, Sussex Royal and MWX Foundation. Notably, MWX Foundation was renamed after the queen forbade them from using the Royal name.
The tax documents also unveiled a substantial anonymous donation of $10 million out of a total of $13 million raised by Archewell in 2020. The identity and motives of this generous benefactor remain a mystery, leading to speculation that it could be a wealthy friend or business partner of the couple.
Critics have raised concerns about Harry and Meghan's use of Archewell, suggesting that it might be a front for money laundering and tax evasion, as well as a platform for promoting their political agenda and personal branding. Questions have also arisen regarding the choice of incorporating Archewell in Delaware, known for its business-friendly laws and low taxes, often attracting businesses seeking to conceal their financial activities and evade scrutiny from authorities.
Simultaneously, Harry and Meghan released a glamorous video showing them embracing military veterans, interacting with Nigerian school girls, speaking at various charitable functions, and otherwise looking like global ambassadors. A similar promo was released in January and previous years, but sources suspect this dynamic couple put this one out earlier to distract from the damning foundation report and upstage their royal rivals, Prince William and Princess Kate, who released a feel-good video about their own charitable work just hours earlier.
As reported by the National Inquirer, Harry and Meghan are scrambling to remain relevant in Hollywood circles as their influence wanes. They were even snubbed by one-time pal George Clooney, who left them off the invitation list for their star-studded AI Awards Gala last September. While Meghan recently signed with William Morris and super agent RI Emanuel, sources say the agency may already be considering dropping her because Tinsel Town has simply had enough of the Sussexes and their relentless attacks on the monarchy.
