From the New York Post: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to controversial political operatives through their charity, according to documents reviewed by The Post.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been spending big on high level Democrat party aligned sources, according to public records, including hiring a ‘disinformation expert’ who worked at a company involved in every high-profile US election since the 90s.
The move could further widen the divide between Harry and his family, after brother Prince William recently met with President Donald Trump. King Charles is also said by the British press to have maintained a good relationship with Trump since he was last in office in 2020 and the president has expressed his support for both.
The Archewell Foundation, the California-based non-profit started by Harry and Meghan in 2020, doled out $146,500 to Jiore Craig in 2023, an independent media strategist who has been called the Democrats’ “go-to” for “countering disinformation,” according to a report.
The report includes details of additional large donations from Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation:
- $120,000 directly to Jiore Craig in 2022
- $ 25,000 to the Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn, where Craig joined the board in 2024
- $90,000 to Markup News Inc., a New York-based non-profit also funded by Craigslist founder Craig Newmark and controversial billionaire and Democratic mega-donor George Soros’ Open Society Foundations
- $250,000 to the Women’s Wellness Space, a Pennsylvania-based charity set up by Ashley Biden, daughter of former President Biden, in 2023
- $155,050 to Herlihy Loughran, a firm run by two former Buckingham Palace aides, Beth Herlihy and Clara Loughran, also for “programmatic strategic services”
When contacted by the New York Post, a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan dismissed concerns about the huge donations, by noting that the couple did not actually endorse any candidate in the 2024 election.
