Prince Harry Faces Criticism for “Ridiculous” Behavior
In a recent turn of events, Prince Harry has come under fire for his perceived ridiculousness.
These scathing remarks were made by broadcaster Esther Krakow, who accused the couple of not contributing much to society.
Miss Krak expressed her belief that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lives have been filled with absurdity.
Given their status as members of the royal family, anything they do becomes major news.
However, it is their sensationalist departure from the royal family and subsequent pleas for privacy that have drawn the most attention.
This is especially true considering their recent deals with Netflix and Spotify, which seem contradictory to their desire for privacy.
Some argue that they have become famous for simply being famous.
In response to these criticisms, the Sussexes' magazine, Town & Country, has published a glowing article highlighting Prince Harry's philanthropic efforts.
The piece portrays him as a dedicated individual who stepped back from his royal duties in 2020, relinquishing one of the world's most influential platforms.
Many speculate whether this move was a strategic career shift towards becoming a content creator for streaming services.
It is worth noting that in its first year of operation, the Sussexes' Archwell Foundation raised over $13 million and spent nearly $4 million, surpassing the Clinton and Obama foundations' fundraising and spending during their initial years.
However, critics argue that this is not the foundation's first year, suggesting a revisionist history on the part of the couple.
Additionally, it is important to acknowledge that a significant portion of the funds raised came from a single donor, raising questions about the foundation's sustainability and track record.
While Prince Harry is associated with various charities on paper and websites, his actual involvement seems limited to occasional appearances at events that require international travel, often facilitated by private jets.
Notably, Charity Navigator, an organization that evaluates charities, has not assigned a score to the Archwell Foundation despite its alleged three years of existence.
According to Charity Navigator, this is due to various reasons, including a lack of available data or an algorithm to assess the foundation's impact.
Furthermore, the foundation's programs are not classified as direct services, and it does not heavily rely on contributions from individual donors.
Additionally, recent records show that Archwell has not filed its 990 form, which is equivalent to a tax return, since 2021.
This form is crucial for non-profit organizations to demonstrate their income and expenses.
Failure to file or filing a form that raises concerns about the appropriate use of funds can result in the IRS shutting down the organization.
A source familiar with the matter stated that Archwell may have until May 15 to file its 2022 form 990 if its tax year ends on December 31.
However, as of now, the form is six months overdue.
It is possible that the foundation filed for an extension, but it is worth noting that if a charity fails to file for three consecutive years, it may lose its tax-exempt status.
Some speculate that this delay in filing could be part of a larger plan to wind down the organization, potentially coinciding with a divorce between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Drawing parallels to the trademark application pattern of their former blog, The Tig, where they filed for extensions before ultimately letting the application lapse, it is plausible that a similar strategy is being employed with Archwell.
If the couple were to divorce, Meghan would retain all profits from The Tig, which could potentially offset any spousal support she may be entitled to.
In conclusion, Prince Harry finds himself at the center of controversy, with broadcaster Esther Krakow branding him and his actions as ridiculous.
While the Sussexes' magazine attempts to counter these criticisms by highlighting Prince Harry's philanthropy, questions remain regarding the sustainability and impact of the Archwell Foundation.
