King Charles Scraps Archie’s Birthday Honor and Excludes Sussex Children from Royal Children’s Fund
In a surprising turn of events, King Charles has decided to revoke Archie's birthday honor and exclude the Sussex children from the Royal Children's Fund.
This decision comes after a tug of war between the coronation plans and Prince Harry's delay in confirming his attendance at the lunch following the ceremony.
With Archie's fourth birthday falling on the same date as the coronation, May 6th, it appears that King Charles will no longer pay tribute to his grandson without the presence of the Sussex family.
Adding to the disappointment, the Royal Kid Foundation has removed Meghan and Harry's names from its ambassador list, which means that Archie and Lilibet will no longer benefit from the foundation.
However, it is expected that King Charles will establish a tightly controlled trust fund for the children, similar to what the Queen did for Eugene and Beatrice after the Yorks' divorce.
The Royal Foundation is an independent charity based in the United Kingdom that supports the non-profit work of the Prince and Princess of UK Royal.
Their projects focus on conservation, environmental issues, early childhood development, mental health, and emergency services.
The foundation was initially formed in September 2009 by Prince William and Prince Harry at the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry to pursue their charitable goals.
Catherine Middleton, now the Princess of Wales, and Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, joined as patrons of the foundation in 2011 and 2018, respectively, upon their marriages.
However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the foundation in June 2019.
Since stepping away from the Royal Family, Meghan and Harry have ceased their participation in foundation activities and no longer contribute to the organization.
Their abrupt cancellations of missions without prior notice have angered Prince William, leading to the removal of the Sussexes from the list of patrons.
Consequently, Archie and Lilibet no longer enjoy the benefits of the Royal Children's Fund, including its reputation and material and spiritual value.
After relocating to the US, the Sussexes have established 11 ghost companies, with Archwell being the only organization operating openly.
However, doubts remain regarding the source of charity funds associated with these companies.
According to royal insiders, King Charles has now abandoned his plans to honor Prince Archie during his historic crowning at the Westminster Abbey ceremony next month.
Initially, it was suggested that he would raise a glass in a post-procession coronation lunch on May 6th, coinciding with Archie's birthday.
However, since neither Meghan nor Harry will be present, this gesture is no longer being considered.
It was previously revealed that Meghan Markle would stay in the US while Prince Harry returned to the UK for his father's coronation.
After the ceremony, Harry is expected to rush back to celebrate with his son.
A source informed the Mail on Sunday that the king had contemplated toasting to Archie, but given the absence of any member of the Sussex family at the lunch, it is highly unlikely that he will proceed with the gesture.
Royal commentator Kristen Mainzer believes that Meghan's decision to stay home with the children while Harry attends the coronation is a strategic way for the couple to divide responsibilities on the significant day.
This decision allows them to balance their roles and obligations effectively.
In conclusion, King Charles' decision to scrap Archie's birthday honor and exclude the Sussex children from the Royal Children's Fund has caused disappointment among royal enthusiasts.
