The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales has become more profitable in the United States than the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Philanthropies13:32, 07 Aug 2026Throughout their royal lives, Prince William and Princess Kate have worked with numerous charities, often raising and donating money, and attending engagements for causes close to their hearts.‌While this charity work is largely based in the United Kingdom, the Prince and Princess of Wales also undertake work abroad. For the future King and Queen, one such charity is the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales, which supports Kate’s early childhood work, William’s Earthshot Prize and many more endeavours.‌And their most recent report shows how their presence in the United States has grown in recent years. According to the Trust’s 2025 financial statements, they received an astonishing £8.7million last year from its US office.‌The funds from the 'American Friends' branch of the foundation, which is a separately controlled entity established in 2011, is almost £4million more than the £4.9million that it handed out in 2024. The major increase in funds accounts for 44 percent of the foundation's total reported income of £19.6million in 2025.The financial records show that in 2025, the foundation retained £10.6million in funds as of December 2025 after spending £16.5million on its charitable activities. Such activities included William’s tireless work with his Homewards initiative, which supports a bid to end homelessness, as well as his United for Wildlife campaign, which aims to bring an end to illegal wildlife trafficking.‌The release of these numbers are a far cry from the charitable endeavours of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who founded Archewell Philanthropies after they quit their royal roles in 2020.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex named the organisation after their son, Archie, and was originally called the Archewell Foundation before a rebrand in 2025 saw them change the name to Archewell Philanthropies. Harry and Meghan have undertaken charitable work both in the UK and abroad, with Harry travelling to Angola and Ukraine with the Halo Trust, which aims to clear active landmines left behind in war-torn countries.‌They have also championed safer online spaces, and for both children and adults to be aware of the dangers online, as well as fighting for mental health causes and tougher regulations on AI. Despite their continued charity work, Meghan and Harry's charity recorded just £1.93 million in revenue in 2024, a decline from the £4.23 million raised the previous year.Article continues belowHarry had a difficult year in 2025 in terms of charities, as he stepped down as patron of Sentebale: a charity he founded in Lesotho and Botswana. The Duke founded the charity in 2006 to help children with HIV, but stepped back last year as his relationship with the organisation's chairman, Sophie Chandauka, had deteriorated 'beyond repair'.Harry is now being sued by Sentebale, which said it had suffered 'operational disruption and reputational harm' and faced 'an onslaught of cyber-bullying directed at the charity and its leadership'. Dr Chandauka also claimed that Harry and Meghan’s decision to quit their royal roles had led to a loss of donations from supporters of Sentebale.
