New Report Debunks Allegations of Meg Stealing Charity Idea from Royal Family for Welcome Project

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have introduced a new initiative called the Welcome Project through their Art 12 Foundation.

In their recently published annual impact report, the couple's charitable organization unveiled Meghan's quiet launch of this new program, which was inspired by her previous involvement with the Hub community kitchen in the UK.

Contrary to some claims, Meghan and Harry are not funding the Welcome Project themselves.

Instead, they have made a donation to an existing program and created a sub-project that mirrors the one previously supported by the royal family.

The Welcome Project aims to provide support for recently resettled Afghan women by promoting women-led programming and fostering inclusive and connected communities.

Currently, there are 11 active Welcome Projects spread across the United States.

These projects offer various activities such as sewing, art, hiking, swimming, photography, storytelling, and cooking, all designed to create a sense of belonging among the participants.

Critics argue that Meghan is merely copying an idea that the royal family had implemented years ago with the Hub community kitchen in Britain.

They accuse the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of capitalizing on their royal connections instead of helping the Hub House grow, suggesting that they lack originality and are resorting to desperate measures.

Furthermore, skeptics question the extent of Arch Royal's contribution to the Welcome Project.

Since there are already 11 Welcome Centers in operation, it is evident that this initiative is not solely driven by the couple.

Some speculate that Meghan and Harry are advised by WME to establish new connections within the royal family and rebuild goodwill through philanthropic endeavors, as their opportunities in Hollywood seem limited.

Interestingly, the similarities between the Welcome Project and the Hub kitchen go beyond their focus on empowering women and nurturing families.

The Hub kitchen was established and operational before Meghan's involvement, leading some to believe that she took credit for initiatives that were not originally hers.

Additionally, Meghan's choice of the name “Welcome Project” has raised eyebrows, as a quick Google search reveals that an organization founded in 1987 with the same name already exists to assist immigrants in Somersville, MA.

Meghan Markle's claim of making a secret nod to the royal family when discussing her inspiration for the Welcome Project is met with skepticism.

The Arch Royal report states that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex began seeking ideas after Meghan's visit to the Hub community kitchen.

The Arch Royal Foundation swiftly partnered with Team Rubicon and Welcome US to address the challenges faced by resettling families in the US, particularly in areas such as education, employment, and healthcare services.

Critics also question the purpose of Harry and Meghan's charity, suggesting that it serves as a platform for them to gain attention and clout through one-off donations, while other wealthy individuals and celebrities prefer to donate directly and write it off their taxes.

This perception of grandiosity leads to speculation about the financial resources wasted on running a seemingly purposeless charity.

In conclusion, the Welcome Project introduced by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has attracted both praise and criticism.

While some accuse them of stealing ideas and lacking originality, others appreciate their efforts to support women-led programming for recently resettled Afghan women.

The true impact and significance of the Welcome Project will unfold as it continues to develop and expand across the United States.
