Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's Charity Is Reportedly 'Dying' After The Couple 'Only Work One Hour A Week' And Focus On $100M Netflix Deal

Prince Harry and Meghan Marke‘s Archewell Foundation is once again being slammed, less than one month after German filmmaker Ulrike Grünewald had negative things to say about it (and them!) on the Harry – A Lost Prince documentary. If you recall, Grünewald criticized the way Prince Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation was managed, saying: “What surprised me most was how ineffectively Harry and Meghan’s foundation is organized.”

Grünewald went on to reference how little time they dedicated to the charity, as they seemingly spent more of their time on their $100M Netflix deal to produce things like Prince Harry’s widely-criticized Polo series, adding: “The amount of donations has fallen drastically in one year: from $13M in 2021 to $2M in 2022. According to their own documents, Harry and Meghan only work one hour a week for the Archewell Foundation.”

And the amount of money the charity is making, as well as how much time the couple are dedicating to it, was a hot topic of discussion on a recent episode of What Just Happened? with Kevin O’Sullivan on TalkTV.

What Did Kevin O’Sullivan Say About Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation?

After saying that their Netflix documentary Polo “was a no-no with the public,” Kevin O’Sullivan began ripping into their Archewell Foundation.

“Charity wise, their grandiosely named Archewell Foundation received in donations a meager five million, 750 thousand dollars,” he began, “five million of which came from one mystery benefactor who many suspect was Harry himself, anxious to spare the blushes of a dismal do-gooder outfit that was dying on its backside.”

“Either way, just under six mil isn’t the kind of comparatively paltry sum that could change anything much at all,” he continued, before criticizing the former Suits actress‘s lifestyle brand.

“Looking back on 12 months of Markle style triumph, there was the slow-motion car crash of American Riviera Orchard, her lifestyle site devoid of life,” he said. He continued: “The dynamic duchess launched her alleged money-making venture way back in March. Now as we march into 2025, it’s not open for business mired in legal wrangling and going nowhere fast.”

Internet Reactions

"Kevin spoke the ULTIMATE TRUTH," raved one fan in the comment section of a TalkTV YouTube video. "A segment I find quite entertaining! Preach it, Kevin!" exclaimed a second fan of the show, as a third speculated: "2025 will be another FLOP, and most hated people of the year again!"

"The only thing they succeeded at is failing," quipped a fourth. "Both of them are complete amateurs at everything they do, they are incompetent and inept in my opinion," slammed a fifth, as a sixth said: "It's also about money. As a couple they split one payment. As separate grifters they both bring in a payday.️"

"They could write a book about how to make money without actually working," wrote another viewer, adding: "How to grift and gain millions. How to create mayhem wherever you go and whatever you do. How to marry a dumb prince and take all his money."
