Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's Archewell Foundation back 'in good standing' after being declared ‘delinquent’

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Archewell Foundation was declared "delinquent," the California attorney general responded to conflicting reports as to how and why it happened.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Archewell Foundation is back in "good standing" after being listed as "delinquent" on their website Monday.

The press office for California Attorney General Rob Bonta confirmed to Fox News Digital Tuesday, "After being in touch with our Registry of Charities and Fundraisers, the organization is current and in good standing."

Representatives for Archewell did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment about the change in status.

In documents previously obtained by Fox News Digital, the charity had been declared "delinquent" by the California Registry of Charities and Fundraisers for "failing to submit required annual report(s) and/or renewal fees."

Per the document, "An organization that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds. The organization may also be subject to penalties and its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry."

"Once you submit the delinquent record(s), you will be notified of the amount of any late fees that are owed," it continued.

On Tuesday, a source told Fox News Digital that the charity's tax filings were submitted as required. All payments were sent to the Attorney General's Office via tracked mail, and those payments were received on time.

Previously, a source had also told NBC that the charity did file on time but a check that was sent was never received, and Archewell only became aware of the issue when the notice was issued. Their sources report a new check has been sent, and they expect the issue to be resolved quickly and reflected in the state's records within the next seven business days.

Archewell Foundation listens to people and their communities, helps them to tell their stories, puts real action behind its words, and spotlights a new generation of leadership."
