It has been a while since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry saw success with any of their ventures. Whether through their business initiatives or forays into the entertainment sector, nothing they have done after their 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, has really struck a chord with fans. Recently, the trailer for their upcoming Polo docuseries was released as part of their $100 million Netflix deal, which is nearing its expiration. Unfortunately, the prospects for that project do not look very bright either.

Amid these challenging times, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have finally received some good news with their Archewell Foundation.

The Archewell Foundation, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's charitable organization, has been making major strides lately. According to a report from PEOPLE, the foundation raised about $5.3 million in grants this year, which is more than double the $2 million they brought in last year. Out of that fund amount, $1.3 million went straight to charitable causes. The report also revealed that a single donor contributed a whopping $5 million, and five other contributors chipped in $335,000 combined.

This major boost in funding came shortly after the launch of The Parents Network, one of the Duke and Duchess’s newest initiatives. On top of that, they have also been supporting various community-based programs, with a big focus on women’s empowerment, mental well-being, and social justice. And that is not all- there is also an exciting update on Markle’s much-anticipated lifestyle comeback.
