Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have addressed recent staff changes within their charitable organization, describing the departures as an “inevitable” part of the foundation’s rebranding process.
Page Six has reported that three employees, comprising 60% of the team at Archewell Philanthropies, have been let go.
A representative for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex commented on these changes, acknowledging that there were “redundancies” among the staff.
“The full team remains intact for now,” the spokesperson clarified. “However, this transition means that some redundancies, particularly in junior administrative positions, are unavoidable.”
The statement concluded with a note of appreciation: “We will not delve further into personnel matters, but we are grateful to have collaborated with such talented and compassionate individuals committed to helping others.”
Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, announced last week that the Archewell Foundation will now be called Archewell Philanthropies.
The rebrand came on the fifth anniversary of the foundation, which the couple launched in 2020 shortly after they quit their royal duties and moved to California.
“Five years ago, The Archewell Foundation was born from a simple but profound belief: to show up and do good,” an impact report issued Friday read.
“Today, as we mark our fifth anniversary, that mission remains as vital and urgent as ever — now carried forward through Archewell Philanthropies, a growing platform designed to deepen and expand how we serve communities around the world.”
The statement concluded, “What began as a commitment to compassion has evolved into a powerful force for meaningful change, particularly in championing global mental wellness across our communities.”
Harry and Meghan’s charity is down to just two employees ahead of its rebrand, multiple sources told Page Six.
“Harry and Meghan have been forced to downsize the staff as it was costing them so much,” one source said.
We’re told Harry and Markle have spent the past few months in deep discussion about the charity’s future as it has struggled with funding.
The Archewell Foundation’s contributions tanked in 2024, with a reported $5.1 million worth of expenses and donations only totaling $2.1 million, the Daily Mail reported on Saturday.
According to documents obtained by Page Six, in 2023, the charity brought in $5.73 million in revenue and spent $3.3 million in expenses.
The charity also hit a rough patch in 2022 when an expense bill of $2,679,537 was more than the $2,005,052 in revenue.
However, the charity’s first fiscal year with the charity was a success, with $13,005,660 in revenue and $3,987,070 in expenses.
Archewell gave out $1.25 million in grants in 2024.
“If they’re shooting out grants then that’s a net loss and they’re not bringing in that much money,” a source told Page Six.
