The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Respond to Shocking Claims Amid Invictus Games 2025
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a joint statement to address explosive claims that surfaced during the Invictus Games 2025. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly donated a significant sum of £198,000 to Ashley Biden's charity, as revealed by the New York Post.
The Montecito-based couple's Archewell Foundation contributed hundreds of thousands of pounds to the charitable organization led by the daughter of former US President Joe Biden, even before its official launch. However, a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan clarified that their donations were unrelated to the 2024 US political campaign.
In a strong statement, the couple's representative emphasized, "It's important to note that The Duke and Duchess did not endorse any candidate in the [2024 presidential] election. To suggest they are attempting to gain favor with the Democratic Party—simply because a donation was made to Ashley Biden's nonpartisan nonprofit focused on women's mental health, or because they hired a consultant specializing in digital safety—is entirely misguided."
The statement further highlighted, "The Duke and Duchess are committed to investing in people and initiatives that genuinely make a difference." This clarification comes as the former working royals continue to focus on their philanthropic efforts, particularly during the ongoing Invictus Games in Canada.
The Invictus Games, a flagship initiative of Prince Harry, remains a central focus for the couple as they support participants and promote the event's mission of resilience and recovery. Meanwhile, their recent statement underscores their dedication to charitable causes while distancing themselves from political affiliations.
As the Invictus Games 2025 unfolds, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain steadfast in their commitment to making a positive impact, both through their foundation and their public engagements.
