Meghan Markle and Prince Harry vowed to become “financially independent” after abandoning working royal duties — but how much labor are they actually putting in?
In January 2020, Meghan and Harry infamously announced that stepping down from “The Firm” would “provide our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”
However, recently released tax documents for their Archewell Foundation report that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hit the charitable grind just one documented hour a week in 2021.
The nonprofit’s public IRS 990 filing, posted to Archewell’s official website, also revealed that the Beverly Hills-based organization raised just over $13 million from donors — with $10 million coming from one exceedingly generous private benefactor.
Reps for the Archewell Foundation declined to comment — but an insider told The Post that reports of H&M “hardly working,” paired with “standard” tax docs, fail to paint a factual “full picture” of the work being accomplished by the duo’s charity.
Archewell reported dispersing more than $3 million in grants to various refugee resettlement charities and and initiatives distributing millions of COVID-19 vaccines.
Around $4,500 in public donations and an estimated $1,190 was also was accrued from “investment income,” the docs stated, while the foundation paid out $163,085 in salaries.
