Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent more money on legal fees for their charities than they raised in 2020, filings reveal.
The Sussexes' US charity Archewell told the IRS in December that it raised less than $50,000 in 2020 — only opening a bank account last January.
And documents for their UK charity Sussex Royal, which changed its name to MWX Foundation in 2020 and is currently being dissolved, show that between June 2020 and June 2021 spent more than $55,000 on legal fees including attorneys' costs for wrapping up the nonprofit.
Meghan and Harry's charities have been mired in controversy since their launch, revealing family divisions and were hit with a UK watchdog investigation and criticism over their use of opaque and secretive Delaware corporations.
UK Companies House filings show the defunct British charity had more than $380,000 in its accounts in 2020, and spent at least $55,600 on attorneys, including about $35,000 to Harbottle & Lewis and $20,600 to an unidentified law firm.
The Sussexes' American charity Archewell was set up in April 2020, but did not open its bank account until January 2021 their lawyers say. Archewell received its first deposit the following month, according to the foundation's filings.
Charities are required to file a public 'Form 990' with the IRS each year which details their finances. Most charities that receive less than $50,000 are only required to file a 'postcard' with some very limited information.
This month, Harry and Meghan's charity told the IRS its gross receipts for 2020 were less than $50,000.
The lack of donations to the former royals' charity last year could come as a surprise after news of its launch made headlines around the world in April 2020.

I’ll never get over him marrying that trollop.
He could of had almost any woman in the world and he picks her.
It boggles my mind. I’m no one and I wouldn’t marry her.
F the both of them....sideways.
well, to be fair, they have NOTHING to offer...
maybe they should throw a $100K into it for seed money so the suckers think it’s a going concern...
Anyone could see from the beginning she was, and still is a gold digger.
You’d think after Nazi Symp Eddie married his American whore, that the Royals would be leery of marrying Americans.
Who do they think they are?
Clintons?
Wonder? Sounds like a sure bet to me. But couldn’t the IRS take a look to make sure they’re not cooking the books??
Divorced, gold digging, liberal, social climbing, casting couch slut.
Yup. Harry should have married a nice British girl.
Biz has been slow over at the Clinton Crime Family Global Initative.
I’m thinking one of their accountants got laid off and went to “Archewell”
Wonder how much they’ll make on their “tell-all” books about the Royal family?
Halfwit himself is an immature, spoiled brat, with a history of temper tantrums and alcohol and drug problems. He has said as much himself about drugs and alcohol. The reason he is married to MeGain is because no nice British girl wanted to yoke herself to him.
Yes based on my trip there several years ago, if he prefers dark meat, there's plenty to be had there, mostly influx from former colonies.
Harry and the Ho.
UK Companies House filings show the defunct British charity had more than $380,000 in its accounts in 2020,
Maybe she is a witch and put a spell on him. It makes more sense than him falling in love with that awful person and marrying her of his own free will.
You think no decent British woman would want to be married to a Prince of England?
I think I’ll adopt that viewpoint.
