Meghan Markle Opens Up About a Sweet Conversation She Had With Daughter Lilibet; Deets Inside

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited a local school in the Nigerian capital Abuja on May 10th, Friday.

While there, the couple took part in many activities with the children and also shared stories about their own children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

While talking to the kids, Meghan Markle told them about a beautiful moment she had with her daughter Lilibet.

What did Lilibet say to Meghan Markle?
Princess Lilibet, almost 3 years old, i the youngest child of the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan told the classroom, “Our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys. She’s about to turn three. And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she (goes), ‘Mama, I see me in you.’ “
Meghan then explained to the class that even though her daughter had meant it literally as she saw her reflection in her mother’s eyes, she hung onto the words of her daughter. “nd I thought, yes, I do see me in you, and you see me in you,” she said. After that, she told the students, “As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”

Later, the couple played some fun games with the kids in the class and shared some more fun experiences they had with their own children back home. Meghan told them that Lilibet’s favorite class was singing and dancing, which is probably due to all the jumping she gets to do. She also shared that Prince Archie, who is 5 years old, loves construction while the kids in a STEM class showed them their robotics projects. When introduced to the oldest child in the class, who is also 5, Meghan shared that her son Archie is also the same age and he just turned 5 last week.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Nigeria visit is going to be pretty full
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s visit to the school in Abuja was one of the first stops on the couple’s first visit to Nigeria. They were officially invited to the country by the highest-ranking military officials- Nigeria’s Chief of Defense Staff. Their weekend visit, which began with the school, seems to be pretty busy with Prince Harry visiting a military hospital to meet injured veterans on Friday afternoon.

On Saturday, May 11th, Meghan will be co-hosting a Women in Leadership event with the Director General of the World Trade Organization, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Harry and Meghan will then head to a training session for the Nigeria: Unconquered organization and then to a reception which will be hosted by the Chief of Defense Staff on the same day. On May 11th, Sunday, they, along with Giants of Africa, will go to a basketball clinic. They will finish off their visit with a Polo fundraiser for Nigeria: Unconquered and a cultural reception.

Since it’s their first visit to Nigeria, it carries a lot of significance for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. It is especially important to Meghan, who revealed in her Archetypes podcast that she found out through a genealogy that she is 43% Nigerian. In the podcast, she told her guest, comedian Ziwe about it and how people, especially Nigerian women are surprised when she tells them the results. Ziwe replied that this was great for the community and said, “No, honestly, you do look like a Nigerian, you look like my Aunt Uzo. So this is great.”

The expert said: “I know that Meghan has become a laughing stock with her jam. I think it is very sad.

Harry and Meghan could have done so much for the Commonwealth. Harry could have been something of a joint King, meeting global leaders with Meghan. Now she is making jam.

Fordwich continued: “There is nowhere in the media that has said ‘this is a great step!’ Americans are very career-conscious. You are judged by where your CV is going. Your trajectory weighs heavily.

“This also raises the question of where is Harry now if all she is doing is making jam?”

Meghan recently released a new jam as part of her new brand launch, promoting via influencers’ Instagram pages.

Last month, Meghan sent 50 jars of her new jam to influencers, including fashion designer Tracy Robbins and Argentine socialite Delfina Balquier.

Earlier this week, the former actress did not travel to the UK with Harry when he returned to his home country for an Invictus Games event.

Despite hopes of a reconciliation with his King Charles III, the Duke of Sussex didn’t meet with his father during his stay.

A spokesperson for Harry said: “In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it, unfortunately, will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme.

“The duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

IMPORTANT UPDATE About Princess Catherine’s Health Condition Leaves Fans Tears Of Relief Flow
The Royal Family has remained steadfast in their support of Princess Catherine, whose health journey continues.

Amid recent controversy sparked by statements made by a clothing designer for the children of Prince William and Catherine, new details about the health of the Princess of Wales have emerged.

A few days ago, the designer caused a stir with comments suggesting that the princess was facing significant challenges due to her illness.

However, Prince William himself shared new information about Catherine’s health during his latest official visit to St. Mary’s Community Hospital in the Isles of Scilly.

While locals were pleased to see the Prince of Wales, residents and Royal fans online were eager to know about Princess Catherine’s well-being and expressed longing for her return to royal duties. Prince William’s confirmation that the princess is doing well during her recovery from cancer treatments reaffirms why he proceeded with his two-day trip to the Southwest, leaving Catherine and the children behind in Windsor.

According to a close source to the royal family, there’s a palpable sense of positive vibes and optimistic moods surrounding news of Catherine’s improving health. While specific details of her treatment and prognosis remain private, the knowledge that Catherine is on a path to recovery is cause for celebration.

Prince William’s display of compassion and dedication to service serves as a reminder of the core mission of the Royal Family to uplift and support communities in need, as well as their commitment to performing royal duties as future king.

The letter given to Prince William by matron Linda Mcel, penned by her granddaughter, wishes Princess Katherine and King Charles well with their respective cancer recoveries. This gesture reflects the collective support and well-wishes extended to the royal family during this challenging time.

While Prince William has been his wife’s rock during hard times, he has also managed to bring smiles to youngsters’ faces during his official engagements. Observers noted his ease in interacting with others and engaging in ordinary moments, demonstrating a sense of normalcy amidst the ongoing challenges.

Royal expert Phil Dampier noted positive signs regarding the progress of Catherine’s treatment, evidenced by an increase in the Royal Family’s commitments. Prince William’s confidence in her recovery is evident, yet behind closed doors, he continues to grapple with the emotional weight of his wife’s diagnosis, drawing strength from the love and support of his family.

Kate Middleton and Prince Harry Have a ‘Special Bond That Not Many People Really Understand’ Despite Ongoing Feud

Though Prince Harry is on the outs with his brother, Prince William, it looks like has a soft spot for his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.

“Everyone assumes Kate doesn’t like Harry, but they have a special bond that not many people really understand,” explained the source. “She and Harry were extremely close at one time. She’s confided in him during some of her darkest moments.”

“Kate’s leaned on Harry for support,” the insider alleged, claiming the two are talking, much to Meghan Markle’s dismay.

“Meghan was blindsided and felt, maybe, a bit betrayed at first,” the source claimed, adding that the former actress “now accepts” Kate and Harry’s relationship.

SOURCE: MEGAPrince Harry and Kate Middleton used to be close.
“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and understanding whilst I’ve been recovering from surgery,” Kate began in a video posted to social media on Friday, March 22. “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised I should undergo preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

SOURCE: MEGAPrince Harry is not speaking to his brother, Prince William.
“This of course comes as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this for our young family. It has taken my time for me to recover from my surgery,” she continued. “Most importantly, it has taken us time to explain to George, Charlotte and Louis and to reassure them I am going to be OK. As I’ve said to them, I am well. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort, and the love and support and kindness that has been shown from so many of you. As a family, we need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy. I must focus on making a full recovery. At this time, I am also thinking of those whose lives have been affected by cancer. Please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”

After the news went viral, Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, sent their well-wishes.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” they said in a statement.

Harry arrived to the U.K. on May 7, but it doesn’t sound like he will be able to see any of his family, as his father, King Charles, who is also battling cancer, is too busy, while William isn’t interested in making amends with his sibling.

“They were once extremely close, and Harry was hit hard by the news of her cancer diagnosis, which he learned about just the way the rest of us did, via Kate’s shocking video,” expert Christopher Andersen claimed. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear [Prince] William is willing to let his brother anywhere near his ailing wife.”

Meghan Markle’s heartbreak as she misses out on Mother’s Day with Archie and Lilibet

Meghan Markle will miss out on the US version of Mother’s Day as she visits Nigeria with Prince Harry – while Archie and Lilibet have remained in California.

Meghan Markle will hearbreakingly miss out on the US-version of Mother’s Day – as she will still be in Nigeria with Prince Harry.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s children, Archie, five, and two-year-old Lilibet, are currently staying with their maternal grandmother Doria Ragland.

Tomorrow (Sunday, May 11) marks Mother’s Day in America, while the celebrations in the UK has already passed, having taken place on March 10.

Despite currently being separated by thousands of miles, Meghan Markle has clearly kept her children close in her thoughts, even mentioning them while giving talks to schoolchildren.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear in high spirits in Nigeria

The 42-year-old told a class full of youngsters: “Our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys. She’s about to turn three. And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she goes, ‘Mama, I see me in you”, Oh, now she was talking really literally. But I hung onto those words in a very different way. And I thought, yes, I do see me in you, and you see me in you.”

The Duchess, who claims to be of 43 percent Nigerian heritage after taking an ancestry test last year, told the class: “As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”

Harry and Meghan won’t have long to way before seeing their children, however, as they are scheduled to return to the USA on Monday after heading to the Nigerian capital of Lagos, as well as Kaduna before they head back to California to be reunited with their family.

The trip hasn’t been without its controversies, however, as Prince Harry came under fire for “inspecting” Nigerian troops – with fans claiming he has “no right” to do due to him having quit the Royal Family.

Others even urged King Charles to step in, with one fan writing on social media platform X: “He is not an acting royal representing his father. Everyone knew this would happen!”

Another added: “I’m angered by this too. Harry has no authority to ‘inspect’ troops. His late grandmother stripped him of all his military titles. Someone said they are calling him, ‘Your Highness’. Harry’s ‘HRH’ was removed too. The King needs to shut this down.”

Meanwhile Meghan Markle committed a major fashion blunder yesterday, as eagle-eyed royal fans spotted that her long, peach-coloured dress was “crumpled” at the bottom.

One person commented on X: “How difficult is it to get things hemmed? I must be a genius as I have about the same height as Meghan and just a fraction of her budget or influence, yet manage to get things routinely tailored to fit.”

However, Meghan fans have came to her defence, insisting that scorching temperatures in the African nation will require one to “dress for comfort”, while others praised her new hairstyle as “breathtakingly beautiful”.

 

Princess Kate and Prince William’s little-known private photographer now pivotal to royals

Princess Kate and Prince William have employed the services of Millie Pilkington for many years, with some of her pictures now going public.

Ever since Princess Kate married into the Royal Family, she has been keen to give fans a glimpse into her and Prince William’s family life with charming portraits released for special occasions.

For events such as Mother’s and Father’s Day and their children’s birthdays the couple post a new picture to their social media, often a less formal and more relaxed take on royal life.

While many of these images are taken by Kate herself, her private photographer Millie Pilkington has been a firm favourite of the Prince and Princess of Wales ever since their wedding in 2011.

For their big day thirteen years ago Kate and William’s official photographer was Hugo Burnard, who had previously worked for King Charles and Queen Camilla.

However Ms Pilkington was picked by the couple themselves to take pictures for their own personal album, with one of her stunning black and white images of the day being shared for the first time to celebrate their anniversary last month.

Princess Kate chose Millie Pilkington for her wedding day

Based in Dorset, Ms Pilkington began working on her photography full-time after she got married in 2000, with her speciality being wedding and children’s portraits.

She came to the attention of the Middleton family when Kate’s mum Carole hired her to take pictures for her business Party Pieces, which she has since sold.

This was likely when she was first introduced to Kate, who then asked her to take pictures of her wedding. Ms Pilkington described the day to Sheerluxe.com, saying: “If I had to describe it in three words, that day was surreal, magical and terrifying! And the most incredible honour – I still struggle to believe I was there.”

Her website states: “Whether photographing in her state-of-the-art studio in Dorset, or on location, Millie is known for doing whatever it takes to get the shot, from balancing precariously at the top of a ladder to wading through a pond.

“Her ability to capture the spirit of a moment, a child, a family, a relationship or a character gives her images an emotional truth and beauty that can be profoundly affecting.”

Several of her pictures also followed later on that year, for Princess Charlotte’s birthday in May and Prince George’s in July, with all three children delightedly gathered round William for a charming portrait for Father’s Day.

Her talents have also caught the eye of Charles and Camilla, who hired her to take a picture of them walking arm in arm through the grounds of Buckingham Palace to celebrate the first anniversary of the Coronation.

Ms Pilkington captioned the shot on Instagram: “Feeling truly honoured to have been asked to take this portrait of Their Majesties the King and Queen earlier this month in Buckingham Palace Gardens. And delighted that His Majesty the King is recovering so well.”

 

Meghan Markle mobbed by fans as Prince Harry ‘copies’ Prince William on Nigeria tour

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Nigeria visit has been a success so far as the people have welcomed them with open arms.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been mobbed by excited crowds during their tour of Nigeria, with the Duke of Sussex being part of a special volleyball match.

Harry’s Nigeria Unconquered team played the Chief of Defence staff’s own squad for an Invictus Games match today in Abuja, the capital, with the Prince himself even taking part.

Sadly for Harry his team, made up exclusively of wounded military personnel, lost 25-21 as he and Meghan took in the game from the sidelines. But he could be seen to be copying his older brother, the Prince of Wales.

That’s because just yesterday Prince William took was taking part in a volleyball match thousands of miles away as he joined in the fun while on an official visit to Cornwall.

But it was Meghan who has so far been the main attraction in the West African country, as she revealed previously she is 43 percent of Nigerian heritage.

London-based Nigerian Michela Rituc told the Daily Mail: “When she announced her heritage, I already knew it, you can just tell from the mother’s face and the grandmother’s face, definitely eastern Nigerian.

“The features say it all and the whole country melted when she said it, she is our daughter, our daughter and we couldn’t be happier.

“We have always loved Meghan, ever since we saw her in Suits and we are so happy she has come home to visit us.”

Some in the country have joked that Harry “owes us dowry” due to a tradition in which a husband will pay his wife’s family money before they marry.

The couple were both dressed to cope with the 35C heat and humidity, with Meghan wowing onlookers in a £2,275 Joanna Ortiz Tropicana Nights dress featuring a black and white palm leaves pattern.

Harry looked casual in a dark polo top and trousers with a green and white scarf draped around his neck, the colours of the Nigerian flag, as he cheered on his team at the Officers Mess.

The Duchess posed for several selfies with her fans, at one point becoming lost in the crowd as some were even reduced to tears by seeing her.

A source close to the couple told MailOnline: “They are so happy to be in Nigeria and having a great time. Everyone has been so welcoming towards them and they are really feeling the warmth of the people.

“As far as they are concerned it’s been a fantastic trip and they couldn’t be happier.”

On Sunday the pair will travel to Lagos, Nigeria’s biggest city, to watch a basketball match and attend a fundraising event at the city’s polo ground.

Then on Monday they will travel back to California to be reunited with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with Meghan sadly missing out on Mother’s Day in the US this year.

Royal expert claims Meghan Markle unlikely to return to the UK with Prince Harry in the near future, despite Prince William and Princess Kate’s invitation.

 

Meghan Markle’s return to the UK is highly unlikely, claims a royal expert. While Prince Harry is scheduled to visit London in the coming months, Markle accompanying him with their children is not happening anytime soon. Recent reports suggested that Prince William and Princess Kate have been working to mend the royal rift and extended an invitation to the estranged family member, but Meghan declined the request.

Meghan Markle is avoiding a trip to the UK

As confirmed by Harry himself and considering his plans to attend the Invictus Games event in May, the Duke of Sussex will make a quick trip to the UK. Earlier, Harry also expressed his desire to visit his ailing father, King Charles, who has been diagnosed with cancer. While many speculated that Meghan would accompany him to the palace, royal commentator Esther Krakue, in conversation with GB News, suggested that might not be the case.

“I actually think she’s avoiding the UK because she’s not interested in the whole drama and, kind of, being injected, is she going to talk to [Princess] Kate, and all of that.” Esther Krakue told the outlet.

Meghan Markle ‘concerned’ about the safety

Things haven’t been going so well for the royals lately. Court cases, health issues, and the general state of affairs have been off the rails. Meghan is thought to be keeping a low profile due to security concerns after Harry lost a high court case against the Home Office, as well as a desire to avoid further conflict between her and Princess Kate.

“I personally think she’s not going to come because, obviously, Harry has lost his case with the Home Office and he said he doesn’t feel safe bringing his family over [to the UK] and I also think this is going to be a time where distance between the Sussexes and the Royal Family will be calcified because the focus will obviously be on the Princess of Wales and the King recovering, they don’t need the whole Netflix drama.” Claims Krakue.

Prince Harry’s court battle

Harry and Meghan have been residing in the US since they left the UK in early 2020 after announcing their decision to leave the royal family. Earlier this year, Harry lost a legal battle against the UK Home Office and RAVEC at the High Court in the United Kingdom. The Duke wanted to overturn a decision that reduced his security classification after he was no longer a “working royal” due to fears for his own safety and the safety of his wife, Meghan Markle, and two children Archie and Lilibet.

oп the worlds of royalty aпd fame, few iпdividυals have captυred pυblic fasciпatioп like Priпcess Diaпa aпd Meghaп Markle. Now, a royal expert has shared iпsights iпto Markle’s perspective. Ever siпce she eпtered iпto a relatioпship with Priпce Harry, Meghaп Markle has faced iпteпse pυblic scrυtiпy. Some have drawп comparisoпs betweeп her aпd Priпcess Diaпa, while others believe she coυld пever match υp to her late mother-iп-law.

 

Priпcess Diaпa, kпowп for her compassioп aпd disrυptioп of royal пorms, left behiпd a legacy of hυmaпitariaпism aпd vυlпerability that reshaped the British moпarchy. Markle, oпce aп Americaп actress пow Dυchess of Sυssex, has paved her owп way, challeпgiпg coпveпtioпs aпd faciпg iпteпse scrυtiпy iп her royal role.

Meghaп Markle “sees herself as Priпcess Diaпa’s heir” as she “cashes iп” oп her legacy, accordiпg to a royal expert.

The Dυchess of Sυssex laυпched her lifestyle braпd Americaп Riviera Orchard earlier this moпth, aпd it was later revealed her пew bυsiпess veпtυre woυld see her selliпg a wide variety of prodυcts, iпclυdiпg homewares, table liпeп, crockery, пυt bυtters aпd jams. It also emerged that she plaппed oп creatiпg her owп cosmetics liпe υпder her пew braпd, aпd plaппed to braпch oυt iпterпatioпally with a raпge of haircare prodυcts, home fragraпces aпd pet care.

While Meghaп has yet to aппoυпce the official laυпch date of Americaп Riviera Orchard, faпs have beeп goiпg wild over the teaser video that was released to υпveil the mother-of-two’s пew veпtυre, as it revealed пever-before-seeп sпippets of Meghaп aпd Priпce Harry ’s lavish maпsioп iп Moпtecito, Califorпia. It was estimated the former Sυits star coυld rake iп more thaп six-figυres iп sales dυriпg the first week, bυt oпe royal expert believes Meghaп is υsiпg her late mother-iп-law’s legacy to help her пew veпtυre, as it was aппoυпced oп a very importaпt date.

 

“It’s really sigпificaпt that Meghaп‘s пew Americaп Riviera Orchard braпd was laυпched oп the same date as the Diaпa award – Meghaп has always seeп herself as Diaпe’s heir. She sees herself as sυfferiпg becaυse of the media, jυst as she feels Diaпa sυffered, bυt oп this side of the poпd at least, there will be a hυge amoυпt of criticism that she is jυst tryiпg to cash iп oп Diaпa’s legacy,” royal expert aпd aυthor Tom Qυiпп exclυsively tells υs.

While he claims there are “groaпs” at Keпsiпgtoп Palace over Meghaп’s пew veпtυre, he believes the ex-actress “jυst caппot υпderstaпd” why makiпg moпey oυt of her “coппectioпs” coυld be frowпed υpoп. Meghaп υпveiled Americaп Riviera Orchard oп the same day as The Diaпa Award ceremoпy, which saw the late Priпcess of Wales ’ warriпg soпs deliver heartfelt speeches iп hoпoυr of their mother.

Priпce William took to the stage at the Scieпce Mυseυm iп Loпdoп earlier this moпth to give a short speech to mark the charity’s 25th aппiversary, aпd said his mother had taυght him that “everyoпe has the poteпtial to give somethiпg back, that everyoпe iп пeed deserves a sυpportiпg haпd iп life.”

Harry waited υпtil William had left the eveпt before he spoke via video call with 20 Legacy Award wiппers from aroυпd the world. “My mυm woυld be iпcredibly proυd of all of the work that yoυ’ve doпe, I’m iпcredibly proυd aпd thaпk yoυ for doiпg everythiпg that yoυ do,” the 39-year-old said. “I’m sorry I caп’t be there. I wish I coυld be there with yoυ gυys.”

 

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be making a last-ditch bid to rescue their £80million Netflix deal.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning “unscripted” shows and a film after experts dubbed their deal with the streaming giant a “ticking time bomb”.

Harry, 39, and 42-year-old Meghan signed a deal with Netflix in 2020, but rumours have been swirling that it had been a flop.

The couple then last week headed along to a film premiere for a Paramount Pictures film – the streaming giant’s opposition – with experts claiming they were “desperate to be seen”.

However, a Netflix boss has now said the Sussexes “actually have a bunch in development”.

The Times reported chief content officer Bela Bajaria said the new projects were linked to Archewell, and included “a couple of unscripted things”.

She was speaking at one of the streaming giant’s promotional events when she added Harry and Meghan were also working on a film and a series – which are in “very early development”.

Last year the couple’s six-part soul-baring series was the streaming giant’s most-viewed documentary.

But Harry and Meghan are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £78m contract.

It was said they will get the rest only if they produce content of real interest before the end of 2025.

Last month comedian Jo Koy roasted the pair at the Golden Globes saying they were “being paid millions by Netflix for doing nothing”.

At the time royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said the couple could lose everything if they don’t knuckle down and get producing before their contract ends.

He told The Sun: “It’s important also to remember the Netflix contract goes on to 2025.

“Netflix is no longer producing The Crown, and from that point of view it may well be, if the Sussexes, don’t produce what they want.

“If they lost that, they really would be losers in every sense.”

The couple launched their documentary Harry and Meghan last year, offering an insight into their relationship.

Released in two parts, the explosive docuseries lobbed bombs at The Firm – seeing it torn apart by royal experts.

But, despite the attention it drew, it didn’t even rank in the top 200 most-watched Netflix shows from January to June.

Months later Harry’s series Heart of Invictus about the Olympic-style games he started for wounded ex-service competitors flopped.

And Meghan’s animated series Pearl, about a girl inspired by historical female figures, was dropped while still in the development stage.

Last year the couple faced a public split from Spotify.

Their Archewell company’s £18million deal with the platform was ended by mutual agreement after Meghan, 41, produced only 13 broadcasts in two-and-a half years.

It comes as royal experts yesterday claimed the couple were clutching at straws by trying to cosy up with Paramount’s boss.

They said Harry and Meghan were “blatantly” after a deal with the media giant just as one of Archewell Productions key members quit.

Bennett Levine – who worked on the flop docuseries Harry and Meghan – confirmed he was quitting, after less than two years in the role.

The Archewell Foundation operated at a £536,357 loss but kept in the black thanks to earlier donations.

A single donation of $10m — 77% of Archewell’s total 2021 income — came from one unidentified wealthy donor.

Archewell claimed it is not unusual for donations to drop off after the first year and say they have $8m in the bank.

Mr Fitzwilliams told The Sun: “I don’t think this is good news at all.

“The fact their manager is leaving, very clearly Archewell you could say is not so well, its accounts for 2022 were singularly unimpressive.”

The Sussexes much-hyped foundation Archewell, revealed a hole in the accounts in December last year after it received almost £9m less in donations than in a previous year.
