EDEN SECRET: Will Harry and Meghan increase the Invictus Games coffers?

Let’s hope Meghan supports Prince Harry’s charity when she flies with him to Dusseldorf next week for a launch event for the Invictus Games in Germany.

Judging by the newly released figures, the Invictus Games Foundation’s revenue seems to have dropped over the past year.

Revenue fell by nearly a third, from £1.77m in 2020 to £1.24m in 2021, according to accounts filed with Companies House.

And that decline has come despite the charity receiving 40 percent compensation from Netflix for Heart Of Invictus, the Duke of Sussex’s next documentary about Invictus Games, which he produced in 2014 to help wounded, wounded and sick soldiers.

“It’s a great cause and the revenue is still impressive, but Invictus could do better,” said one charity expert.

The income of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Royal Foundation has increased over the past year.

Recently released data reports that the foundation, which Harry and Meghan split up in 2019, grew its revenue by 73% in 2020 to a record £20.4m last year.

A spokesperson for Invictus Games declined to say how much it received from Netflix, but the fee is part of the £450,000 it lists as ‘sponsorship and program rights’ in their account.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have signed a £75m deal with the American broadcasting giant in 2020.

A spokesperson for Invictus said last year’s revenue was lower than in 2020 as the charity benefited from a £561,000 transfer that year after Harry and Meghan left the Royal Foundation.

“The difference in revenue figures is due to the transfer of the Endeavor Fund in 2020, including limited resources and all Endeavor Fund-related grants from the Royal Foundation to the Invictus Games Foundation in 2020,” the spokesperson said. Said.

“So, while the actual income has been stable in terms of fundraising over the years, this turnover has led to an increase in the 2020 figures.

“The fundraising revenue for the charity, which includes a portion of Netflix’s share, has remained flat over the years.”
