In a surprising turn of events, Princess Anne has assumed full control of Prince Harry’s trust funds in response to his recent controversial remarks about the Royal Family.
The decision is seen as an attempt to distance the Royal Family from Harry’s divisive comments, which have garnered backlash and negative publicity.
Sources close to the Royal Family have revealed that this move was made after it was determined that Harry’s actions were detrimental to the charitable organizations he represents.
One source stated, “You really don’t want people who are divisive representing your charity.”
It was evident that Harry’s recent statements and behavior had caused division, and it was not in the best interest of these charities to have him continue as their representative.
As part of this transition, the majority of the funds previously managed by Harry will now be transferred to Princess Anne, renowned for her tireless charity work and dedication to partnering with organizations that make a positive impact on society.
Princess Anne, in addition to her royal duties, serves as the president or patron of numerous charitable organizations.
Despite the loss of his trust funds, Harry will retain his private patronages and presidencies with these organizations.
However, the extent of his influence over their operations moving forward remains uncertain.
This decision to transfer Harry’s trust funds to Princess Anne comes amidst reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have struggled to make a significant impact with their charity work in the United States.
Sources suggest that the couple has failed to generate substantial exposure for their charitable endeavors and has faced challenges fulfilling their business contracts due to mental health issues.
Furthermore, concerns have been raised about the Sussexes’ Charitable Foundation, which is registered in Delaware.
This state is known for its lenient regulations regarding charitable organizations, requiring only 5% of income to be allocated to actual charity work, while the remaining 95% can be used for expenses.
Critics argue that this leniency allows the Sussexes to use their charity as a tool for self-promotion and a means to funnel money into their personal accounts.
Prior to Princess Anne assuming control, there were discussions about Prince William potentially taking on Harry’s charitable roles.
However, Buckingham Palace issued a statement clarifying that these roles would be assigned to working members of the royal family, leading to speculation that Princess Anne was the favored choice.
In addition to losing his patronage with the London Marathon Charitable Trust, Harry’s recent statements have caused further damage to his reputation.
He admitted to self-reported drug use, claimed responsibility for the deaths of 25 individuals, confessed to bullying a disabled person, and made a plethora of paranoid and absurd accusations against the royal family.
Princess Anne’s decision to take control of Harry’s trust funds is viewed as a powerful message from the royal family, indicating their intolerance for divisive behavior and actions that tarnish the monarchy’s reputation and the charitable organizations they support.
It remains to be seen how Harry will respond to the loss of his trust funds and the potential negative impact it may have on his future endeavors.
On a separate note, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle managed to raise up to $13 million for their charity, the Archwell Foundation.
However, reports indicate that they have only donated $3 million thus far, leading some to question their commitment.
The funds were allocated to various causes, including Afghan and Ukrainian refugee relief centers, vaccine equity, and support for women-owned small businesses.
Specifically, the money facilitated the distribution of 12.6 million COVID-19 vaccines through Global Citizen, aided refugee resettlement through initiatives like Welcome and Welcome, provided 50,000 meals through the World Central Kitchen, and supported the development of a guide on fostering positive masculinity called “Rebooting Social Media” at Harvard University.
