The Duke and Duchess of Sussex referenced their children, now 6 and 4, in a recent impact report released last month. In a December 2025 statement announcing a change to their charitable organization, they wrote, “After five beautiful years, the Archewell Foundation is becoming Archewell Philanthropies. This charitable entity allows the couple and their children to expand upon their global philanthropic endeavors as a family.”
That explicit inclusion of Archie and Lilibet appeared to suggest the children could one day take part in their parents’ philanthropic path. According to the Daily Mail, the wording left one of Prince Harry’s longtime friends “truly baffled.”
“Harry and Meghan always stressed that their children would grow up free to choose their own paths, without the burden of expectations or titles,” the source said. “I can’t believe Harry would support this.”
The insider went on to suggest that the decision was likely driven by Meghan’s influence.
