The card's message is not limited to holiday wishes, but also invites recipients to explore the 2023 Impact Report from their foundation, Archewell. This report offers a detailed overview of the various initiatives and causes they carried out throughout the year. Among the flagship projects for 2023 is the Welcome program, an initiative to reintegrate Afghan women. The 2023 Impact Report also highlights Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's contributions in areas such as mental health, cybersecurity, and "ethical" journalism. These are all topics that the couple highlights, using their notoriety to raise awareness and promote positive change in society.
That said, Meghan and Harry seem to be hiding the damning bilant of their foundation. According to information from the Daily Express, published on December 12, their Archewell foundation has recorded an unprecedented loss over the year 2022. According to the charity's tax return, which was obtained by the British newspaper, the couple living in California lost nearly $11 million in donations in one year. A new setback fortunately somewhat swept away by Harry's victory this Friday in his lawsuit against the tabloids.
