An anti-monarchy campaign asked to analyze $ 366,000 in charity funds that were transferred between Harry’s companies.
Prince Harry is threatening the “weight of the law” after being accused of mismanaging the charity funds.
On Monday, an anti-monarchy campaign, Republic, was reported to have asked the UK Charity Commission to investigate $ 366,000 in charity funds that were transferred between three of Harry’s companies, according to Newsweek.
“The Duke of Sussex is always and remains deeply committed to his charitable work,” read a statement from Harry’s attorneys. “This is the focus of his life, and his devotion to charity is at the core of the principles he lives by and is obvious from the impact and success of his many charity projects across the UK and beyond.”

“It is deeply offensive to see false claims today about the Duke of Sussex and his charitable work,” the statement continued. “It is defamatory and insulting to all the leading organizations and individuals with whom it has partnered.”
Republic’s claim indicates that the money was transferred from The Royal Foundation, which Harry founded with Prince William, to Sussex Royal before the last entity closed. Republic goes on to claim that the money was transferred from the missing Sussex Royal to Harry’s other company, Travalyst, which “is not registered as a charity, but was established as a non-profit company,” according to Newsweek.
The Republic letter said: “This appears to be a personal decision by an administrator (the Duke of Sussex) to fund another of his projects, rather than ensuring that the funds are used for the original purposes for which they were donated.”
Harry’s attorneys responded in the statement, writing: “The Duke has had and has had no personal financial interest in his charitable work. The interest has always been clear: supporting others and making a positive difference.”

“Suggesting otherwise is unequivocally incorrect and will act in accordance with the weight of the law. The avenue through which this was created publicly and salaciously only suggests a hunger for media attention, as well as a shared agenda and attack , which is not correct nor alone “.
Harry had released Sussex Royal with his wife, Meghan Markle, but the couple closed it after giving up their royal duties earlier this year. Travelyst was created in September 2019 as a non-profit organization that seeks to make tourism greener.
The UK Charity Commission released a statement, saying: “We have received a complaint on this matter. As with all concerns raised with us, we will evaluate the information provided to determine whether there is a role for the Commission or not. We have not any determination of irregularities. “
