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’d bet Harry is really -—— whipped, too.
Wow. Never? Really? Sucks to be you. (with the luxury of caring about something to irrelevant).
I don’t doubt that.
No ***** is that good.
You win the internet today!
Please tell me you didn't just say this.
You’re right, I should be an anonymous trash talking coward like you.
That’s right. Lol
While quite the man whore, Harry actually was rejected by two women he went with for some time: a Brit, Cressida Bonas; and a white South African, Chelsea Davies. They were said to be put off by his neuroticism and the difficulties of being a royal in the tabloid atmosphere of the British media. Harry is not the only young person to have been horrified at a young age by the death of Diana, whose death involved her and her lover and driver being chased by paparazzi through a dark tunnel. Being hounded by the media while dating Harry must have been a daunting prospect.
I would have just stayed a man whore instead of marrying her.
Yeah, workerbee was right on this one.
Ah following in the steps of KAOS...a Delaware corporation for tax purposes.
Guess being an Ex Royal doesn’t pay as well........
Not if he is a creep like Halfwit. In this day and age, British women in his circle have plenty of other options. They don’t need to marry a tempermental, immature dunce who happens to be a prince and a member of the world’s most dysfunctional family to boot.
In any case, did you see any suitable British women marry Halfwit, or even get engaged to him? No, you didn’t.
You’re correct....they don’t have a thing to offer. I think Harry thought he could generate funds just by showing up as he did in the UK......neither realize how much they’re disliked here as well as overseas.
Once the money and press ebb down....Megan will find a new guy to entertain the media with.
Even better, he should have stayed single.
.
Project much?
I can see that. She’s an opportunist.
I hope Harry sees his grandmother before she dies.
