Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Receive Surprising News on Return from Nigeria

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have encountered a significant setback following their recent tour of Nigeria. Their charity, The Archewell Foundation, has been declared delinquent by the California Registry of Charities and Fundraisers for “failing to submit required annual reports and/or renewal fees.”

According to the New York Post, an insider revealed that although the Archewell Foundation did file on time, the check was never received by the appropriate party. This administrative hiccup has resulted in the foundation’s current delinquent status.

According to the delinquency notice obtained by People, the organization is “not in good standing” and “prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds”.

“The organization may also be subject to penalties and its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry,” the Attorney General of California Rob Bonta warned. “Once you submit the delinquent record(s), you will be notified of the amount of any late fees that are owed.”

As per the report, Harry and Meghan have sent a new check by mail, and “the Archewell Foundation expects the issue to be quickly resolved and reflected in the records within the next seven business days.”

The Archewell Foundation was established by the Sussexes after they stepped down from their roles as working royals in 2020. The foundation’s mission, as stated on its website, is to uplift and unite communities “through acts of service and compassion.”

Despite this setback, the couple remains committed to their philanthropic efforts. The situation highlights the challenges that can arise in managing a charitable organization, particularly one with such a high public profile. The Sussexes will likely need to address this issue promptly to ensure the foundation can continue its work without further interruptions.
