The California justice system declared Harry and Meghan's Archewell Foundation “in default”, so it was ordered to stop requesting resources and spending them.
While during their tour of Nigeria they were made to feel like “family”, at home things were different since, according to journalistic versions, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in trouble with the law.
This is because the courts of the state of California declared the Archewell Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “in default”, so it was ordered to stop requesting resources and spending those it has.
People released this information, after having access to legal documents that show the situation of the organization founded by Harry and Meghan.
Likewise, a source familiar with the case assured the American publication that the Archewell Foundation team is confident and hopes that the situation will be resolved favorably and will be reflected in the records within a week; which should be operating without problems shortly.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were ordered to “stop soliciting or spending (resources) for their Archewell Foundation,” after the state of California Registry of Charitable and Fundraising Organizations declared their foundation “delinquent.” according to People.
The Archewell Foundation “is listed as delinquent in the Registry of Charitable and Fundraising Organizations for not submitting the required annual reports and/or renewal fees,” specify the documents to which the American publication had access, which reveals which was last May 3 when said statement was issued. This occurred five days before Prince Harry celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games in London and prior to the successful promotional tour of the same sports initiative that he carried out, together with Meghan Markle, in Nigeria.
Although the legal situation that the Archewell Foundation is currently going through is serious, it should not be so worrying for Harry and Meghan, who this Sunday, May 12, concluded their visit to Nigeria. According to reports, the organization's "in default" status was due to a missed payment for a check that was supposedly sent but did not reach its destination.
“An organization listed as delinquent is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including the solicitation or disbursement of charitable funds,” describes the document establishing the foundation status.
Likewise, the text explains the consequences that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could face if the situation is not regularized, noting that: “The organization may also be subject to sanctions and its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry. Once you submit delinquent records, you will be notified of the amount of late fees owed.”
According to the source consulted by People, the Archewell Foundation submitted the request on time, but the check sent was never received and the administrative failure was not known until the notice was issued ordering the suspension of activities related to the request and expenditure. of resources.
