Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's Charity Reportedly Still Owes Close To $100K To Nonprofit Enterprise, Despite Couple's Multi-Million-Dollar Media Deals

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charity still reportedly owes a nonprofit enterprise close to $100,000, which isn't a good look considering the couple has inked various multi-million-dollar deals since parting ways from the royal family.
According to documents released today, the couple's Sussex Royal The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – which is currently in liquidation after being renamed MWX Trading – owes this unidentified not-for-profit organization over $93,000, despite the couple raking in almost $140 million in media deals.
Last year, the unnamed creditor made a claim for more than $250,000 to the foundation.
While Harry and Meghan did pay back almost $160,000 in the most recent financial period, the recently published documents claim the remainder is still outstanding.
Harry initially promised that all of the foundation's debts would be paid in full within 12 months, but the Charity Commission's since-completed investigation into MWX caused a holdup.
The probe was over an almost $180,000 transfer from the charity to Harry's sustainable travel program, Travalyst. In May, however, investigators determined there had been no wrongdoing.
It's unclear why the remainder of the claim has not been paid, if the couple currently has deals with Netflix, Spotify and publishers totaling nine figures. In theory, they should have plenty of personal funds available to the pay the outstanding amount.
