The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have issued their first statement after their Archewell Foundation was labeled 'delinquent.'
Expressing their gratitude to the people of Nigeria for an unforgettable trip, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared an official statement titled "THANK YOU NIGERIA" on their website, Sussex.com.
The statement reads: "Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex concluded their unforgettable trip to Nigeria with a cultural reception in Lagos and a polo match fundraiser for Nigeria: Unconquered."
It continues: "The couple was greeted with a beautiful pre-game parade—a vibrant display of young enthusiasts in polo gear, proudly waving the green and white flags of Nigeria—followed by a procession of older children on horseback, setting the tone for a day filled with sport and spirit."
Harry and Meghan concluded their message by extending "their deepest gratitude to all the event organizers, military officials, and the whole Nigerian community for their tremendous hospitality and the first of many memorable trips."
For those unaware, the Archewell Foundation received a delinquency notice from the California Registry of Charities and Fundraisers for "failing to submit required annual report(s) and/or renewal fees."
According to People Magazine, the notice stated that the foundation is "not in good standing" and is "prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds."
