Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation is being deemed as “delinquent” as of late by a California Attorney General.
Rob Bonta stated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has not paid the official registration fees for their charity since the beginning of this month.
The organization did not submit the registration fees and annual reports on time, marking it as “delinquent” with the registry of charities and fundraisers.
“An organization 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 letter read. “The organization may also be subject to penalties and its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry.”
According to Page Six, the paperwork was indeed filed on time but the physical check for the registration fees was sent but not received.
The organization apparently learned about the issue after the delinquency notice was published.
The two launched the foundation back in 2020 after stepping down as royals.

The nonprofit organization is described as “underpinned by the core belief that mental health and our collective wellbeing are paramount,” per its website. “We prioritize solutions that consider families, youth, race and gender, and strive to find the joy and hope we all share for the future.”
This new report comes as the couple made their first official trip to Nigeria to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
During the time their, the couple watched Invictus style sports competitions and even discussed the importance of mental health.
“It’s something that we are still relatively unsure of. But guess what? Every single person in this room, the youngest, the oldest, every single person has mental health.”
Harry told children on Friday, May 10. “So therefore, you have to look after yourself to be able to look after other people. And other people have to be able to look after themselves, to look after you. That’s the way it works. And there is no shame to be able to acknowledge that today is a bad day, OK?”
