The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Archewell Foundation has not yet released its income for 2024

Princess Kate and Prince William's Royal Foundation was originally established as the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry in 2009.

Its current form took shape after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working members of the Royal Family.


The couple opted to form their own charity, Archewell and publish annual accounts for the organisation.

The Prince and Princess of Wales's Foundation raised £12.2million in income last year, compared with just under £8million the year before.

The organisation is separate from Prince William's Earthshot Prize, which had a total income of £23.5million for 2024.

That figure included a 68 per cent increase in donations, up from £12.8million to £21.4million.

Across Prince William and Princess Kate's Royal Foundation and the Earthshot Prize totals £35million.

Archewell have not released its income for 2024, but in 2023 the figure was £4.25million.

Prince Harry is currently grappling with a storm around his involvement with the Sentebale charity and could face further action over claims made against him.

The Charity Commission concluded its compliance case into Sentebale with a Regulatory Action Plan to address governance weaknesses.

The report found there was confusion over roles, especially around powers delegated to the chair, and lacked proper internal complaints policies with no clear processes to resolve disputes.

The Commission did not find evidence of widespread bullying, harassment, misogyny, or misconduct by Prince Harry or by any other trustees but did acknowledge that several people involved felt they had been mistreated, and that those feelings should not be dismissed.

However, the charity's leaders could opt to pursue action independently.

A source told the Mail that a decision on whether to proceed would be taken by the Sentebale trustees and executive management.

The insider added that Sentable is focusing on delivering help to clients rather than taking further action at this point.

A source close to Prince Harry called any further action "provocative and pitiful".

They added that it would be a "rehash of unsubstantiated allegations of bullying, misogyny and more, which the Commission found no evidence of".

The Duke of Sussex is utterly devastated over what he sees as a "hostile takeover of his life's work", according to a source.
