Even among the Royals there are levels when it comes to fundraising. The Royal Foundation, initially founded by Prince William and Prince Harry in 2009, has undergone significant changes, particularly since Harry and Meghanstepped back from royal duties. Now solely led by William and Catherine, the foundation has seen remarkable growth, especially in terms of fundraising, which stands in contrast to the efforts of Harry and Meghan through their own initiatives.
Recent reports from the Charity Commission reveal that the Royal Foundation’s income has reached an impressive $10.5 million. This financial success is particularly notable given the challenges the royal family has faced in recent years. Additionally, the foundation celebrated a significant achievement with the $29.7 million raised in 2023 through The Earthshot Prize, an initiative aimed at addressing environmental issues.
In comparison, Harry and Meghan’s charitable endeavors through their organization, Archewell, have also made strides, but the figures are considerably lower. While specific income details for Archewell have not been publicly disclosed, the couple has focused on a variety of initiatives, including mental health and social justice.
However, the fundraising accomplishments of William and Catherine highlight a stark contrast in public engagement and financial backing.
