It’s a big hole in the fund that raises questions… According to information from the Daily Mail, the tax return for Harry and Meghan’s foundation is not complete. Far from it. Because according to the tabloid, at least six million dollars would be missing. In this form completed by the Sussexes for Archewell, “only” two million dollars were declared. But no mention of these two grants received. Simple legal oversight or deliberate desire to hide money? For the moment, it is impossible to decide.
But the Daily Mail prefers to remain cautious. “It is possible that the money will appear on the next declaration”write our British colleagues. In any case, this is a new setback for Meghan and Harry. Because this failure could not have come at a worse time. Indeed, the Sussex foundation is in great difficulty. The reason? She was not given the green light to spend and earn money because of poorly completed forms.

The “delinquent” Sussex Foundation?
This latest revelation furthers speculation that Meghan and Harry’s charity is “supported by a handful of wealthy donors”we can read on the Daily Mail. The two missing grants total just over six million dollars and relate to Archewell’s 2022/2023 financial year. Fidelity Charitable contributed $6 million to the Foundation while Tisbest offered $10,050. And if these amounts appear on their respective files, they are absent from that of the association.
Enough to raise questions about the Foundation of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Because already last May, their charitable foundation would have been described as
“delinquent” and was ordered to stop collecting or spending money. The couple have reportedly let the official registration fees for their charity, Archewell, expire since at least early May 2024. Which is prohibited by California law.
The Sussexes in the crosshairs of the tax authorities
“The document states that Archewell was listed as a delinquent with the Register of Charities and Fundraisers for failing to submit its annual return and registration fees,” reported Page Six. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had no choice and had to pay the required amount. And they did it discreetly before the relevant authorities spill the beans.
“We have diligently investigated the situation and can confirm that the Archewell Foundation remains fully compliant and in good standinga spokesperson told Page Six in a statement. Payments due were made promptly and in accordance with IRS processes and procedures. Additionally, all necessary documents were filed by the Foundation without error or wrongdoing.” Déjà
