Travelist Cuts Ties with Harry: A Charitable Mission in Turmoil
In a surprising turn of events, Travelist has officially distanced itself from Prince Harry, who previously served as the public face of the organization's charitable endeavors.
This decision comes in light of emerging corporate contracts that revealed Harry's past controversies might be more of a liability than an asset.
Now, his status has been downgraded to merely a co-founder on the Travelist website, effectively stripping him of his board member title.
The separation was deemed essential for Travelist, which was originally established as a charity with the noble goal of making a positive impact on the travel industry.
However, a troubling issue looms over this transition: the initial funding for the organization came from public donations made to the RO Foundation.
These funds were raised with the understanding that they would support various charitable causes, not just the latest ventures of Harry and Meghan.
Despite the potential for a major scandal surrounding this financial arrangement, it seems to have been overshadowed by a series of distractions.
Notably, a report from the charity's commission halted its investigation once the funds were transferred into Travelist's accounts, effectively placing them out of reach of scrutiny.
What was meant to be a charity appeared to morph into a business entity, leading to a decline in public examination.
Adding to the intrigue, reports surfaced that Harry and Meghan were planning to launch a charity directly linked to their RO titles.
They envisioned SussexGlobalCharities.com as a platform that would lend a royal flair to their fundraising efforts.
This strategy could attract significant corporate donors keen to associate with the royal family, all while cloaked in the guise of charitable work.
Speculation abounds that following their exit from royal duties, the Sussexes were eager to leverage their titles for financial gain.
There was a suggestion that donations to their new charity could be perceived as having royal endorsement, a move that could entice even more substantial contributions.
The introduction of the name Archule marked a pivotal shift.
What began as a royal initiative has now morphed into a non-profit based in Delaware, where a considerable portion of the funds could be allocated toward operational expenses, including salaries.
This transformation raises eyebrows, especially considering past rumors regarding the Sussexes' handling of charitable funds.
Allegations have emerged that money initially intended for the RO Foundation was rerouted into Sussex Royal, which eventually evolved into Travelist.
When these financial concerns came to light, the palace, known for its adept damage control, acted swiftly.
This led to the hasty closure of SussexGlobalCharities.com and a prompt announcement regarding the dissolution of the Sussex Royal brand.
The 2019 split of the RO Foundation into distinct entities for Harry and Meghan, and for William and Kate, was framed as a natural evolution.
However, many insiders suspect it was a strategic maneuver to obscure deeper issues related to fund management.
Harry's commitment to donate a portion of the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund to a specific cause also raised questions when it was discovered that the funds were redirected elsewhere, likely into their newly formed non-profit, Archule.
