Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing a major restructuring at their charitable organization, with more than half of its staff now gone as the foundation grapples with ongoing financial strain.
Page Six revealed on Monday, December 22, that three employees—roughly 60 percent of the staff at Archewell Foundation—were recently let go. A spokesperson for the couple acknowledged the cuts, calling them “redundancies,” and said further changes were unavoidable.
“Currently, the same full team remains in place,” the spokesperson said. “This move does mean that some staff redundancies are inevitable, particularly with junior admin roles.” The statement added that the couple was “honoured to have worked with incredibly talented and caring people who dedicate themselves to helping others.”
Behind the scenes, insiders say the decision came down to money. The outlet had previously reported that the organization had been “forced to downsize the staff” because it was becoming too expensive to maintain at its current size.

According to the Daily Mail, Archewell reported $5.1 million in expenses in 2024 while bringing in just $2.1 million in donations. In 2023, the charity generated $5.73 million in revenue against $3.3 million in expenses. The imbalance isn’t new—in 2022, expenses again exceeded revenue, though the foundation’s first fiscal year was far more successful, with more than $13 million raised. Despite the shortfall, Archewell distributed $1.25 million in grants in 2024.
Last week, the couple announced a rebrand, renaming the organization Archewell Philanthropies on its fifth anniversary. An impact report framed the shift as an evolution rather than a retreat, stating, “What began as a commitment to compassion has evolved into a powerful force for meaningful change.”
Earlier this month, the couple released a statement responding to Australia’s new law banning social media use for children under 16—the first of its kind globally.
“It shouldn’t have come to this,” they said, praising Australia’s leadership while warning the move doesn’t address the root of the problem. “We celebrate Australia’s leadership for seeing and acting on how these technology companies are negatively impacting young people,” the statement read, adding that platforms have made “feeble efforts” to curb harm.
While calling the ban a necessary step, the Duke and Duchess stressed it’s only a temporary fix. “This bold, decisive action… sends a strong signal that a child’s mind is not a commodity to be exploited,” they said, noting it “buys young people valuable time back in their childhoods,” but “doesn’t fix the fundamental issue” with social media platforms.
