Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have broken their silence after it came to light their charitable foundation, Archewell, has been named “delinquent”.

The charity – where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex work just “one hour per week”, according to official documents, has been sent a brutal letter from California’s state attorney, who warned them that Archewell is currently “not in good standing”.

But in the couple’s first official statement following their three-day tour of Nigeria, the Sussex’s have failed to mention anything about the scandal, instead divulging more details of their trip.

A note, released on the Sussex’s official website, read: “The Duke and Duchess would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all the event organizers, military officials and the whole Nigerian community for their tremendous hospitality and the first of many memorable trips.”

As a result of Archewell’s apparent failure to pay required fees, the organisation has temporarily been banned from collecting and distributing charitable funds.

The letter by the attorney general read: “An organisation that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds.

“The organisation may also be subject to penalties, and its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry.”

 

Archewell now has to submit records to show why its payment is late and pay late fees.

Harry and Meghan’s foundation has filed for an extension – but California’s official registry continued to list Archewell as delinquent, according to reports in the US.

 

During Harry and Meghan’s trip to Nigeria, the Duchess revealed rare details about their children Prince Archie, five, and two-year-old Princess Lilibet.

Despite spending the US version of Mother’s Day thousands of miles away from her children, she appeared to keep the youngster close in their thoughts, as she revealed rare details about them to a group of scholchildren during the visit.

In a sweet four-word statement, she admitted: “I’m missing my babies.”

She told the crowds: “It feels appropriate that although of course we are missing our children, I’m missing my babies, it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family.”
