However, sources speaking to Page Six claim the foundation has been dramatically scaled back, with staff numbers reportedly reduced by more than eighty percent and Archewell Philanthropies described as “essentially shuttered.”The development follows a string of recent exits and renewed scrutiny of the Sussexes’ working environment. Commentators and former aides have pointed to repeated staff turnover, while PR experts argue that the coming year may require Meghan to redefine her public identity with greater focus and consistency.We also revisit claims that Prince Harry’s deep mistrust of the media dates back to the earliest days of his relationship with Meghan, following their first public appearance together at the 2017 Invictus Games.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.
