Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been forced to defend themselves after new reports accused them of spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on Democratic-aligned sources via their Archewell charity – including Ashley Biden’s non-profit organisation.

In a new bombshell report, the New York Post highlighted that the Archewell Foundation, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s charity set up in 2020 after they quit the Royal Family, spent a total of £624,493 ($786,550) on various operatives somehow linked to the Democratic party.

Their biggest donation was handed to Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley, as the charity rolled out £198,491 ($250,000) to the Women’s Wellness Space, a charity set up by her in 2023.

But a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex defended Archwell’s donations, telling the outlet: “It’s important to note The Duke and Duchess did not endorse any candidate in the [2024 presidential] election and to suggest they’re trying to curry favour with the Democratic Party — simply because a donation went to Ashley Biden’s nonpartisan nonprofit focused on women’s mental health, or because they hired a consultant specializing in digital safety — is misguided.

“The Duke and Duchess are committed to investing in people and initiatives that truly make a difference.”
