The Archuel Foundation, founded by Prince Harry and Meghan in 2020, recently released its 2022-23 impact report, highlighting its charitable initiatives and contributions.
However, a closer look at the report raises questions about the organization’s financial support for the causes it claims to champion.
While the impact report proudly showcases various achievements, such as providing trauma-informed mental health support to individuals affected by an earthquake in Turkey and Syria, supporting girls in Nigeria with menstrual products and health education, and engaging women through the Welcome Project, it fails to disclose the amount of funding provided.
This discrepancy has raised concerns about the authenticity of Archuel’s partnerships and the true extent of their financial commitment.
The tax report, released shortly after the impact report, further adds to the skepticism.
Surprisingly, there is no mention of the funding amount in the tax report, which casts doubt on the organization’s claims.
It appears that the organizations Archuel claims to collaborate with may not be receiving any actual funding from them.
Examining the impact report, one notices recurring terms such as “partnered with,” “supported,” “highlighted,” “uplifted,” “dialogue and conversations encouraged,” “shine a light,” and “promoted.”
These terms often indicate minimal involvement beyond public relations efforts.
It is important to remember that an impact report primarily serves as a PR brochure, and the actual financial forms revealing where the money goes and in what amounts have yet to be released.
Furthermore, when the report mentions the Welcome Project and claims that 98.8% of participants have developed meaningful relationships, it raises eyebrows.
One can’t help but question whether Prince Harry and Meghan deliberately rounded up to 98.8% or used 98.6%.
This suggests that the Welcome Project is not their own, but one they are merely featuring and drawing numbers from.
It appears that a significant portion of Archuel’s reported achievements actually belongs to other organizations and projects.
This raises concerns that Prince Harry and Meghan may be contributing nominal amounts to certain organizations for favorable tax write-offs while claiming credit for the entirety of those organizations’ efforts.
These developments come at a challenging time for the couple, as reports suggest their brand is losing favor in Hollywood.
Their business ventures, including the termination of their Spotify deal, have faced difficulties this year.
Mark Bowski, a seasoned crisis manager, has emphasized the need for a significant change, stating that their brand is currently ineffective.
The future of Prince Harry and Meghan in Hollywood remains uncertain, as they promise big plans, but whether they can deliver remains to be seen.
In conclusion, the Archuel Foundation’s impact report raises concerns about the organization’s financial backing and the authenticity of their partnerships.
While the report highlights various achievements, the lack of transparency regarding funding amounts and the utilization of other organizations’ efforts raises questions about their true commitment.
