BREAKING NEWS: Harry and Meghan called out over unpaid fees for Archwell Charity

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archwell Foundation has been found guilty of unpaid fees and warned it could be fined or frozen.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a criminal complaint for failure to file annual reports and renewal fees. According to the California Department of Justice website, an organization will be issued a notice if it has not submitted a complete return for each fiscal year.

The Sussexes’ foundation was established after they stepped down as members of the royal family in March 2020 and moved to the United States. Criminal charities are ordered to stop fundraising, face fines or suspend or cancel their registrations.

According to the letter, seen from Page 6, the memo adds: “An organization classified as a criminal is not in good standing and may not engage in activities that require registration, including the collection or disbursement of charitable funds.” The couple’s organization did not fail to send an annual document​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​According to the Telegraph, the couple have yet to publicly respond to reports that a check was sent for the money but never arrived, the newspaper adding “simply doing good for local and global communities both online and offline.” The organization’s 2021 application, filed last February, showed they raised $13. million (£10.3 million) from philanthropists after awarding $3 million in scholarships. The following year, donations dropped by $11 million, with only $2 million going to charity. .
