Prince Harry, Meghan Markle break silence after Archewell charity receives ‘delinquency notice’

Ahead of their “unforgettable” trip to Nigeria, Prince Harry and Meghan were notified about their charity’s delinquent status

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued their first statement since their charity, Archewell, was deemed “delinquent.” The non-profit organisation, founded by the Sussexes in 2020, received a delinquency notice from the California State Attorney General’s office on May 3. While the state finds Archewell “not in good standing,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex seemingly remain unbothered as they address their recent “quasi-royal” Nigeria trip in the statement released Tuesday.

Following their 3-day trip to Nigeria, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released an official statement, thanking the country officials and community for their “tremendous hospitality.” Per the statement on the Sussex website, Prince Harry and Meghan “concluded their unforgettable trip to Nigeria with a cultural reception in Lagos and a polo match fundraiser for Nigeria: Unconquered.”

“The couple was greeted with a beautiful pre-game parade – a vibrant display of young enthusiasts in polo gear, proudly waving the green and white flags of Nigeria – followed by a procession of older children on horseback, setting the tone for a day filled with sport and spirit,” the statement continues.
