Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Archewell Foundation has raised $13million and given away $3million to charitable causes, it has been revealed.
The couple's charitable foundation, which was set up after they stepped down from their royal roles, has released a 24-page report detailing the causes that have been helped by money they have donated since it was founded in 2020, which include Covid vaccines and Afghan refugees.
Cash was also donated to the World Central Kitchen as well as to a project to build a playground in Uvalde, Texas, where a gun massacre took place in a school last year killing 19 children and two teachers.
It comes amid a staff shake-up at the couple's Archewell organisation, which has seen two key staff members announce they would be stepping down.
The Archewell Foundation "impact report" does not contain any accounts or figures on how much exactly has been donated to charities and organisations.
However, Omid Scobie, a favoured journalist of Harry and Meghan, tweeted: 'The Sussexes’ Archewell Foundation has released its 2020-22 'Impact Report'.
"In their first year of operation, they raised $ 13million and distributed $3million in grants across areas including vaccine equity, relief centres, refugee resettlement, and building better online world."
In a breakdown in the report, Archewell, named after Harry and Meghan's son Archie, says it helped to procure 12.66million Covid vaccines for people throughout the world thanks to its partnership with Global Citizen.
It also says it helped almost 8,000 people flee Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover in the summer of 2021 and dished out 50,000 meals through the World Central Kitchen following climate disasters in Puerto Rico and Dominica.
The foundation also partnered with the City of Uvalde and Kaboom to create a play space for children. In the days following the massacre, Meghan visited the city to lay flowers and pay tribute to the victims.
Meanwhile, the report also says that Archwell has helped fund 13 academic fellows to "address society's most urgent concerns surrounding social media' at Harvard's Institute for Rebooting Social Media".
James Holt and Shauna Nep, the co-executive directors of Archewell, wrote in the report: "Since its founding in 2020 by Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, The Archewell Foundation has built a growing body of work rooted in the philosophy of compassion, connection, and care.
"With the leadership of The Duke and Duchess, we have cultivated strong strategic partnerships with leading organizations, invested millions of dollars across the non-profit space for sustainable programs and campaigns, and designed a strategy centred on large and lasting community impact."
The publication of the report comes just hours after it was revealed that Fara Taylor, who is head of the Archewell Productions marketing team, and internal content head Ben Browning, would be leaving the organisation.
Both worked on Harry and Meghan's controversial Netflix docuseries and neither is being replaced.
Ashley Hansen, Archewell's head of communication, told the Telegraph that both “exceeded expectations and made their mark within the cultural zeitgeist”.
She said Harry and Meghan were “hugely grateful” for their support on the “vital look-back projects” that they have recently released.
It comes several weeks after it was announced that Mandana Dayani would be leaving her post as president of Archewell.
It is understood the couple will take on full leadership of the company, and a statement from Archewell at the time was at pains to make clear they had not fallen out.
Ms Dayani, 40, had been at the helm of the couple's media and charitable empire for less than 18 months.
She ran the day-to-day operations at the company and played an integral role in setting up Meghan's Spotify podcast Archetypes.
