Archewell Foundation, Invictus and other charities, news and activities Part 4

How wonderful! It?s fantastic of the Invictus organisation to do this. Swimming and snorkelling in the open sea always gives a marvellous sense of freedom and I?ll bet those vets really appreciated their chance to experience such things.

@WeAreInvictus are pleased to offer all wounded, injured, ill veterans including friends and family, free access to coaching services from BetterUp for the next 6 months. To register your interest in this exciting offer click the link: Microsoft Forms

A lot of people laughed and looked down on Harry when he got his job and started making real money but I'm glad he was able to bring the services of BetterUp to the Invictus Foundation.

[Curryong]

Great offer and I hope some of the Invictus Games competitors and loved ones do take up this very generous offer by BetterUp. We know from pervious letters written in support of the Games that vets have had bad depression at times and even suicidal thoughts. If any feel the need for counselling and coaching now is the ideal time to access it.

[TLLK]

Good luck to Steve!!

The former army veteran with over 26 years of service under his belt, reaching the rank of Staff Sergeant, will compete in a range of sports at the games later this year, including Wheelchair Basketball, Sitting Volleyball, Archery, Table Tennis and Wheelchair Rugby.

First founded in 2014 by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, using the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect for wounded, injured and sick Servicemen and women, the games will return for their sixth edition September, hosted in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Having left the service in April 2022, Steve is now working with the club to support other veterans on their recovery pathway, as well as developing and maintaining partnerships with traditional armed forces and veterans? agencies, representing the Foundation within the Hull Military Covenant Forum, and exploring communication strategies to reach new armed forces and veterans who are facing challenges with loneliness and isolation.

Steve is also a key part of both the Hull FC and Army Wheelchair Rugby League teams, and even led the latter on an overseas tour of Australia.

He will be involved in this weekend?s fixture against Warrington Wolves as part of the Betfred Wheelchair Super League?s ?Inclusion Round?!

Meghan's spiritual guru who appeared in DDOS first podcast Spotify spoke with Richard Eden, Daily Mail

Meghan's spiritual 'guru' has given a fascinating insight into the couple's state of mind as the Duke of Sussex prepares to leave his wife and their two children behind to attend King Charles's Coronation. 

Deepak Chopra, 76, an Indian-American alternative medicine practitioner with 2.8million devoted followers on Instagram, told Richard Eden the California-based pair are 'struggling' amid their rift with the Royal Family.

At a red-carpet event in Central London, he said: 'I enjoyed the podcast and interacted with them. 'It [our work together] has been periodic - they're struggling right now.'

He added: 'I hope they get through it light-hearted. I think there's too much drama around them.

So he is one of the couples therapist. He meets with them periodically.

he has told them to stay silent about the fall-out 'because reacting will just aggravate the situation'"

:unsure:

Too late, after all the trashing!

[Nightowl]

^Isn't that for darn sure and all the spinning and trying to make it look like something else will not work as everything is out there in the internet since they first opened their mouths to trash the royal family.  No spinning, no back talking or trying to escape it will ever work, everything anyone puts on the internet is forever.

[changemhysoul]

I can only really lol at that.

As long as he could paid a good amount, good for him!

IMO, Deepak is quitting on the couple, which would be the more interesting gossip.

He officially broke the ethical obligation to preserve the confidentiality of information gathered in association with the care of the patient (s).

ONLY IF the couple agreed with him to make the very public statement of their 'trouble in paradise' because of the enormous worldwide backlash, a typicall start to a drawback from disgrace. The whisper and rumors, especially in California is they are persona non grata, the only interested party is their Netflix Boss, do as I say or no moneys. Trapped.  Basically, no one wants the couple to have any information, conversation recorded or in a diary from the couple to be later sold to the best offer.

[Nightowl]

Isn't that they way to lose friends and win enemies, record their conversations, keep a dairy of all interactions with anyone, go on national TV and do interview and talk  about their families, friends, associates and whomever they associated with.  Yet they  want their privacy and the hell with anyone to talks about them.  Meghan has been reported as keeping a diary, aren't diaries very personal info about yourself and life that is about you, yet that diary if there is one, bet she keeps loads of info on everyone whom she comes in contact with and the conversations, no wonder they would be what, outcasts anywhere...who needs friends that do that.  Even companies who would consider doing business with them should be extremely careful of talking to them.  I don't see Meghan ever having a very close friend even if it reported that she does have friends by her fans, she does not strike me as a warm, kind friendly person, her smile does not reach her eyes. Oh well their life is on them and their consequences. She got that gold Welsh ring and a royal title with a 14 bathroom home in the middle of what...her dreams came true yet keeping them will be the problem here for the bank of dad is closed.  One trap as they think was the work and doing the job for the royal family into another trap of a company what tells them to jump and they have to...they lost so much and could of done so much to help those in need..yet MONEY is their GOD now, Thank you Netflix and whomever else.

Just a few quick asides about this post as I?m going out into the autumn sunshine for the afternoon.

1 Meghan?s diary hasn?t been seen or heard of since she herself mentioned it briefly in the Netflix doco. There?s no evidence at all that she?s used it for anything untoward.

2 Meghan has plenty of friends. Two of them at least have lasted since her college days at NW. That?s over twenty years. She has been seen with friends lots of times, in the US and UK, at Wimbledon, on holidays, they turned up at her wedding etc. I haven?t got time to make a list of them now, but if you have evidence that Meghan has never had any close friends I?d like to see it, then it can be discussed.

3. The bank of Dad may be closed and Charles?s spokesman emphasised that the Sussexes are completely independent, financially. That does not mean however that the Queen?s grandchildren did not receive an inheritance from her private fortune, which is believed to have consisted of several hundreds of millions of pounds. In fact I?m almost certain that her children and grandchildren will receive a large sum each, though we will never know how much. Prince Philip left several millions and may also have left money to his eight grandchildren. So I don?t think Harry will be carrying the begging bowl around any time soon.

4 Whatever the Sussexes could or couldn?t have done as royals they have helped many charitable causes since leaving, many of them have been noted on this thread. In the last financial year Archewell distributed over 3 million to organisations like World Central Kitchens and others that assisted families, women and children. They asked the BBC to give a generous cheque on their behalf to British families suffering from Covid restrictions after their wedding broadcasts.
Harry has consistently given millions to Sentebale. He plays polo each year and a cheque goes to the charity. A couple of years ago the profits of one Californian polo match delivered 3 million to Sentebale and he has pledged one and a half million dollars from the profits of Spare to them as well.

The last polo match.

So it?s pretty obvious that your assertions that the Sussexes do no good for others is incorrect.

We dove into the official accounts of Harry and Meghan's foundations. Hang in there, it's worth it.
📺 Harry & Meghan: royal business?, the investigation into their hidden face is here ➡ Envoy? sp?cial - Harry et Meghan, royal business | France tv
https://twitter.com/i/status/1646883511381676032

There is yet no subtitle translation into English, basically this French Special Envoy, Channel France 2, went to California to investigate Archewell and the 11 Delaware H&M companies.  It's legal but unethical according to their findings. Archewell offices were empty the several days they went. The moneys given to charity is 5%. And 5% in fees and expenses. Equal 10% between charity/expenses and fees, whilst  the 90% is for the couple. So far they are doing a Clington and Obama foundations.

IMO no one should give to any of these type of foundations/charities where only 5 % goes to help people in need.

[HistoryGirl2]

^I can?t vouch for the veracity of these claims, but if it?s true, in keeping with most ?non-profit? organizations. It?s part of a larger trend. Sad to see, but exactly why I never personally donate money to anything unless I know for a fact the majority of the proceeds are actually going to people in need.

Zehr gut!! (Very good)  Prince Harry gives a greeting in German in his message ahead of the Invictus Games.  :thumbsup:

Prince Harry appears via videolink at Invictus Games event in Germany | Daily Mail Online

Prince Harry showed off his impressive language skills as he spoke in German at an Invictus Games event in Berlin.

The Duke of Sussex, who recently confirmed he will attend King Charles's coronation in London without Meghan or their children Archie and Lilibet, opened a speech in Berlin by saying 'guten abend meine damen und herren' - which translates as 'good evening ladies and gentlemen'.

The royal then thanked Hendrik W?st, prime minister of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, along with members of parliament and Team Germany for their support in a video message shown at the event marking 150 days until the Invictus Games begins in D?sseldorf in September.

He said: 'Guten abend meine damen und herren. First and foremost I would like to thank Prime Minister W?st, members of parliament, Team Germany and all those gathered here tonight for your continued support. We are just 150 days away.'

I want to do a mega post (and I will when I get home or later tonight. The new laptop came in but the WiFi at the hotel sucks and my 5G is better)

But a lot of stuff is happening and I?m exited for it! Also only 153 days or so into Invictus 2023!

[wannable]

In my opinion the basketball outing was a goodbye party to their employees. The herein enclosed Variety article claims WME will take the overall business for Meghan and Harry.

Variety, USA

Her team at WME will include power agent turned Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, Brad Slater, the rep and brand architect within the agency for Dwayne Johnson, and longtime Serena Williams agent Jill Smoller. Additionally, WME will assume representation of Archewell, her and Prince Harry?s content creation label. Film and television production, brand partnerships, and overall business-building will be explored.

William Morris is a prime established agency. It?s a feather in their cap they?ve been able to sign Meghan.

Looking forward very much to hearing from you again when everything?s fixed up. These tech difficulties are the worst, lol!

[wannable]

When a business fails hiring an agency to manage ones business is the best step to take (statistics). All the best, I hope this is the beginning of positive things on a different direction rather than profiting on trashing Harry's family.

[PrincessOfPeace]

A title makes all the difference. They're not signing Rachel from 'Suits' (No one cares) but Prince Harry's wife.

[HistoryGirl2]

^Well, yes, but that was always going to be the case. Like @wannable, I hope this is a rebranding that is sorely needed after the disaster that?s been wreaked on their popularity. Hopefully they can focus on charitable works instead of the RF.

[Nightowl]

^^..
Yes as that is the only thing in today's day and age that Meghan as going for her, all she did was marry a British Prince who many think is filthy rich as that is his family, not him.  Meghan I think from her actions and behavior will fight to keep that title as that is how she now identities herself even though she can't stand the royal family.  And nobody can say she loves the royal family either as she has proven otherwise. I think for her not going to the Coronation regardless of how the royal family feels will in the end hurt her brand for how can she promote Duchess of Sussex's when she openly can't stand them or work for them or be around them.....a bit of a hypocrite for you can't have it both ways as she has found out with not getting the HI/HO deal she and Harry wanted. 

I also think Charles is a bit of a pushover for his son and maybe feeling somewhat guilty because of the way his marriage to Diana went, so he might be trying to make up for those mistakes yet William is no damn pushover and he I bet has a very hard feelings for the Sussex's with all the hell they have created and are still doing the same all over again.  I think William is done with Harry and Meghan for good now after this last so called secret deal which is just a court settlement done every day of the week in courts around the world..........This was Harry backstabbing his brother all over again....not spinning that to something else for it is what it is.....Lies and more Lies by the Sussex's....so Harry how can you go to the Coronation now with this hanging over your head just what a week and half away from the big day?
