Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first charitable organization, the Sussex Royal Foundation, has been listed as under process to be dissolved. The Companies House reportedly made the record public this week.
According to Hello, the declaration of solvency of the Sussex Royal Foundation will finally allow for the next crucial steps in the royal pair's plans. Prince Harry and Meghan were keen to start their new foundation, Archewell, but they had to dissolve their other charity first.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly wanted to do "something of meaning" and "something that matters" when they thought of the name Archewell. The inspiration for the charity's new name also came from their son, Archie Harrison.
Prince Harry and Meghan were supposed to launch Archewell in April, immediately after they officially stepped back from their royal roles on March 31. While the coronavirus pandemic affected their plans, Archewell's paperwork and trademark also needed to be properly sorted out to protect the interests of the Sussexes. Thus, it has taken the royal pair more time to activate their new charity.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had to ditch the name, The Sussex Royal Foundation, per an agreement with Queen Elizabeth. The monarch did not permit Prince Harry and Meghan to use "Sussex Royal" for their future projects and endeavors since they chose to quit the royal family.
But while one door closes, another window opens. Prince Harry finally confirmed that his beloved sports event for former servicemen, the Invictus Games, has been pushed back to June 5, 2021.
A statement posted on the Invictus Games site stated that the event, to be held in The Hague, will follow strict COVID-19 guidance. It comes as a relief for Prince Harry, who said in March that it was sad and difficult for him to announce the cancellation of this year's games, because of the pandemic, when thousands were looking forward to the event, which was originally scheduled for May.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan remain in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, their home for the last four months. It's unclear if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will fly to Scotland with Archie in August to join the royal family for their annual summer activities.
Before the pandemic crisis, Prince Harry and Meghan announced that they would visit the Queen and Prince Philip in Balmoral during the summer. However, the pandemic has affected many travel plans since March, including the royal family's trips.
