Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have recently come under scrutiny for allegedly retaining 95% of the donations intended for the Invictus Games in Nigeria.
The couple's recent visit to Nigeria, described by some as a quasi-royal tour, has sparked discussions about their current status and roles. Invited by Nigeria's highest-ranking military official, Christopher Musa, Meghan and Harry spent three days in the country. During a discussion with host Nana Akua on Cohen's show, a significant point was raised about their transformation from royals to celebrities.
Cohen noted that this shift is often misunderstood, particularly by their American fan base. He criticized Meghan's involvement in selling jam as part of her new lifestyle project, American Riviera Orchard, and commented on their attempts to regain the status they voluntarily relinquished in 2020.
Cohen further stated on GBN America that Meghan and Harry are grasping at any semblance of lost status, opting for a quasi-royal tour representing themselves rather than any nation. This tour raised eyebrows when information from Meghan's former microphone expert, Lanny of Barbados, alleged that the couple is leveraging their 501(c)(3) charity status to secure donations for the Archwell Foundation from foreign aid in the countries they visit.
The claims suggest they retain 95% of these funds, only spending 5% in the donating country. Their association with a charitable organization in Delaware, which benefits from laws sponsored by Joe Biden during his tenure as Senator, has drawn criticism for potentially allowing charities to evade fair taxation.
These allegations prompt questions about their visits to other countries such as Jamaica and Canada, and whether their intent is to secure more foreign aid donations under similar terms. Critics argue that while corporations are often scrutinized for not paying their fair share of taxes, charities should face the same level of scrutiny. If intelligence services can substantiate these claims and present them to King Charles III, it may lead to significant actions, such as suspending titles or issuing press releases to deter such practices.
King Charles III has been made aware of several alleged infringements by the couple that violate the Sandringham Agreement, established between Prince Harry, Meghan, and the late Queen Elizabeth II. There are growing doubts about the sustainability of Meghan and Harry's chosen lifestyle. Harry has previously expressed dissatisfaction with going on tours, while Meghan completed only two tours before stepping back from royal duties. This raises questions about how many countries would be willing to host them under their desired conditions.
While a country might offer security during their visit and provide access to a private airport, organizing several days of activities for individuals who do not represent official entities is increasingly seen as problematic. It remains to be seen how Meghan and Harry will navigate these challenges and whether they can sustain their preferred lifestyle. Critics suggest they are heavily relying on favors, including seeking support from the California governor to address a $200 late payment, indicating that their network of support might be dwindling.
