Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released a video showing Archewell’s ‘impact’ in 2023, but their annual report also reveals that their foundation has recorded losses.
Last year, just two major donors gave around $1 million (£795,210) each. The previous year, an unidentified wealthy donor gave them $10 million, but it was not repeated in 2022.
It follows a tumultuous year for the couple, in which Harry’s scathing memoir Spare topped the bestseller lists but their personal popularity ratings fell.
They were also mocked by popular TV shows like South Park and Family Guy, criticized after claims about an allegedly “near catastrophic” car chase in New York, and lost their lucrative podcast deal with Spotify, where a top executive He labeled them “******* scammers.”
The couple set up their Archewell Foundation after stepping down from the Royal Family and say it is an “impact-driven global nonprofit putting compassion into action” that is “committed to a simple but profound mission: showing up, doing the good.”
The Foundation employed five people, with salaries totaling $640,441 (£509,285) for the year. Harry and Meghan did not receive a salary.
But chief executive James Holt, considered the Sussexes’ right-hand man since Megxit, was paid $227,405 a year (£180,835), including a $20,000 (£15,904) bonus. This was a pay rise of around $170,000 (£133,000), up from his starting salary of $59,846 (£47,641) the previous year.
It is understood that Holt’s salary in 2021 did not reflect a full 12 months of work because he joined mid-year.
Despite the loss in 2022, it appears the foundation, described as a “not-for-profit” organisation, still holds around $8.3m (£6.6m) in cash and assets.
