Archewell’s Rough Year for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, A Rebrand with No Links

New IRS filings show a difficult year for the Archewell Foundation, with expenses rising to five point one million dollars as donations and grants fell to two point one million. The documents detail salaries, major “other expenses,” confirmed staff reductions, and note that Harry and Meghan take no salary while averaging one hour per week on charity work. We also review GB News reporting on the stated reasons for the Archewell Philanthropies shift, alongside the Sussexes’ new Christmas card featuring Archie and Lilibet.

Then, a quick look at the Archewell website as it pivots to “Archewell Philanthropies,” plus a note on Thomas Markle’s fundraising appeal as he faces mounting medical bills. Tom Sykes questions the rebrand language emphasising “family,” and whether the Sussex children are being folded into the brand in real time.

After the break, Prince George makes his first visit to The Passage, a charity with deep ties to Princess Diana and Prince William, helping prepare for the Christmas lunch for people experiencing homelessness and signing the same visitors book page his father and grandmother signed in nineteen ninety three.
