According to the British "Sun" local time on the evening of January 4, the Duke of Sussex prince Harry and Meghan Markle raised less than 50,000 US dollars (about 320,000 yuan) in the first year after the establishment of archwell charity, which is far lower than the couple's legal expenses for the foundation, which is similar to their previous Sussex Royal Foundation, which is suspicious that the duke and his wife's goal of establishing a charitable foundation is not charity.
In early 2020, the Duke and His Wife of Sussex resigned as senior members of the British Royal Family and settled in California after a brief stay in Canada. During that time, Harry and Meghan formed archwell charity in the name of their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten, a nonprofit foundation whose bank account was not opened until January 2021, according to documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Archwell received its first donation in the first month of its existence, and their total income in 2020 was less than $50,000.
The document also shows that the Duchess of Sussex and his wife paid more legal fees for the charity than they raised in 2020.
After Meghan married into the royal family, Harry Meghan's philanthropic path consisted of three parts, at first they continued to participate in the Royal Charitable Foundation united with the Dukes and Couples of Cambridge; then, Meghan Harry decided to "go it alone", they quit the joint foundation with their brother-in-law, and spent 300,000 pounds (about 2.6 million yuan) to establish the Royal Sussex Foundation, which was dissolved 12 months later.
According to a report submitted by Harry Meghan who appointed Smith and Williams as liquidators of the Royal Sussex Foundation, the company had less than £29 (about 250 yuan) in one account at the time of the liquidation, while Meghan Harry still had to pay two additional legal fees of £26,000 and £10,000 (about 90,000 yuan) respectively.
The third part of the Philanthropic Trail is the aforementioned Archwell Foundation.
Judging from the above financial data, Harry Meghan's charitable foundations seem to be institutions that cannot make ends meet and have not played a charitable role, which makes people question that it is normal for their targets to be not charitable.
