There's always that one person who is captured gaping in horror at what they have just seen! Remember the Invictus games, the LA fires ...

Markle was pushing for donations made to Sentebale to go through their Archewell foundation

And like Invictus, Sentebale is sod-all to do with her, so why should she have any say in where the donations go?

It all looks very murky and you wouldn't be inclined to donate, would you? Most potential donors have their own/their corporate reputations to think of.

There would be no advantage to Sentebale for the donations to Sentebale to be rooted through Archewell. I'm not clear on what the advantage to Meghan would be either - some sort of US aid based on a percentage of total donations in-year. If you understand, please enlighten me.

I think there IS one thing we can agree on, whatever we think about this, as there is proof from our own eyeballs.

Markle's behaviour at that polo photo opp was utterly patronising and disgraceful. I can well understand how it might have been an added issue adding to an already incendiary situation.

I wonder why Markle didn't interview SC on her powerful women of colour podcast? I have a few thoughts...

I can't even recall what you said!

Do you want to re-phrase, add 'allegedly', and re-post? I don't like the idea of a valid point being removed or censored.

I was responding to @Thedom post below, will try to re phrase!

Kind of refreshing to be on to the 2nd thread discussing Harry and Meghan public behaviour without the usual defenders hopping on and calling posters racists and dogwhistlers.

If the discussion is incredibly serious and hard to defend like this one their supporters tend not to post, however if we post on a thread where we think Meghan’s jam venture won’t succeed lots of posters descend and we are called all the names listed as per your post.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 29/03/2025 19:42

I’d feel sorry for them, what with this being played out on a public stage, but then I remember that they played the same game with the royals and Catherine.

Some might say this is karma!

This is talking about the Sussex Squad attacking her and their employees - PH going to the press ahead of informing the charity and him firing the starting gun for the 'Sussex PR Machine' to be unleashed and attack.

What if there's a rule/policy for funds like Fidelity that a certain percentage of its grants must go to US based entities, not overseas ones? So they give it to a US based entity, like Archewell, which can then skim off its 95% in expenses (thank you Delaware) and give the rest to an overseas entity like Sentebale. (This is supposition only).

For an individual like Harry, rather than donating straight to Sentebale, he donates via Archewell. Gets whatever tax breaks/rebates under Californian law for doing so. Archewell then redistribute the money to Sentebale, possibly paying some of it (up to 95% allowed) back out to Archewell personnel as expenses.

For Archewell: any money that is donated via this vehicle , even if H&M are not the original source of the cash, bigs up H&M as philanthropists.

RandyRedHumpback · 29/03/2025 19:50

Can we please not let Harry off for that disgraceful act at the polo match. He could have done the right thing and moved himself so that Dr Chandauka was next to him and between him and Meghan for the pictures. That he didn't, stood rigidly next to MM, and seemed to ignore Dr C makes me think something was already going on between them before that match, and the final straw was his allegedly demanding she stick up for MM when the negative coverage started.

We can also have a laugh remembering MM elbowing Harry out of the picture when she went in for a snog with one of the other polo players (he was a handsome one).

To be clear there she did not mention Sussex Squad. She said the Sussex PR .

According to Sky she said the 'Sussex machine'. Interpret that how you will.

Very fair point @RandyRedHumpback .
I think like Uncle David and Wallis, hé is too scared of her.

She's going for the jugular here! I assume she can prove it?

Agog to see what comes next!

glitterturd · 29/03/2025 19:53

This does echo many of the points that have been said on here about Invictus - that they are detrimental to the charity now and all their antics reflect badly onto the charities.

Not a very highbrow contribution but dr Sophie Chandauka is absolutely stunning. Obviously smart, courageous, and highly educated too.
