Our Royal Insiders weekly commentary available exclusively for paid subscibers.

Good morning, I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. Once again, our attention turns to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The word “delinquent” was used in headlines this week.  An ugly word, to be sure.

The reason? A simple cheque for registration that apparently failed to arrive at its intended destination.

Now, I know what you're thinking. A missed payment, a clerical error - these things happen, right? But when you're dealing with an organization as high-profile and closely scrutinized as Archewell, there's simply no room for these kinds of amateur mistakes.

You see, the Sussexes' decision to strike out on their own and create their own charitable entity was always going to be a risky move. On the one hand.....

The tabloids seem to have run out of "Kate is Wonderful" stories.  Even reruns. I mean, how many times can you tell us how relatable she was that one time she was in a supermarket.

So it's off to stories about Sophie and Princess Anne, and maybe even Beatrice will have to wave at the commoners this summer.

OK Magazine reports the Sussexes may  be worried about an upcoming documentary on the royal family - and what elements of their past lives it might unveil.

Richard Mineards, who covered the Royal Family for UK newspapers said, “Los Angeles-based producer Melanie Hillmann grilled me for two hours”
According to a source, “There are many things that both of them, especially Meghan, don’t necessarily want in the public domain. It’s no secret that they both led colourful lives before they met each other, and while Harry has spoken about a lot of mistakes in his book, there are still things about Meghan we don’t know”.

Per OK, the source claims that there are things from her past that she’s “brushed over” – but there are people out there “willing to speak out”. And one element under examination could be the breakdown of her first marriage, something which could prove “explosive”, claims the source.

That source adds, “Her first marriage didn’t end well and her ex-husband is yet to speak out – but who knows, for the right amount of money, he may have his say,”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's non-profit organization, Archewell, is back in good standing after a brief period of being declared "delinquent" in the US. The charity had to halt all fundraising and spending due to this designation, which was a result of failing to submit its annual report and registration fees on time. However, sources close to the couple insist that all necessary filings were submitted punctually.

The Department of Justice's website now lists the charity's status as "current," indicating that the issues have been resolved.

In a statement to The LA Times, the California attorney general’s press office confirmed: "After being in touch with our Registry of Charities and Fundraisers, the organization is current and in good standing."

Earlier, a letter from California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta noted that Archewell had let its registration fees lapse since the beginning of May, rendering the charity "not in good standing" and prohibiting it from soliciting or distributing charitable funds. The letter warned of possible penalties and the suspension or revocation of the charity's registration.
Despite this, a source told the Mirror that the fees were not actually late, claiming: "For whatever reason, it has not been cashed. As soon as the foundation learnt of the problem, they immediately issued another cheque. Harry and Meghan's team hope this will quickly resolve the issue within the next week."

A representative for Archewell later assured The Mirror: "We have diligently investigated the situation and can confirm that The Archewell Foundation remains fully compliant and in good standing. Due payments were made promptly and in accordance with the IRS’s processes and procedures. Furthermore, all necessary paperwork had been filed by the Foundation without error or wrongdoing."

PR Expert Ryan McCormick suggested to the Mirror that the damage is already done.

Royal Insider Deep Crown says:

The notion that Meghan Markle's appearance at the coronation was simply an opportunity for her to 'play the princess she always wanted to be' is, in my opinion, a gross oversimplification of the situation.

Being a member of the royal family is not some fairy tale or Disney movie, where one can simply don a tiara and live happily ever after. It's a life of duty, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the Crown and the people it serves. It's a role that comes with immense responsibility and scrutiny, and one that requires a great deal of resilience and fortitude.

To suggest that Meghan merely wanted the glamour of being a royal without the 'tiresome protocol' is to do her a great disservice. It's clear that she struggled with the constraints and expectations of royal life, and that the constant media scrutiny and criticism took a heavy toll on her mental health and well-being.
But to reduce her motivations to a simple desire for fame and attention is, I believe, a mistake.
