Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly raised a staggering sum for charity, by auctioning off a very private dinner with them.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who resigned from royal duties in 2020, are said to have offered tickets to a private dinner through an upscale fundraising platform, with each seat priced at around £75,000.
According to reports, the Sussexes have partnered with CharityBuzz, a well-known luxury auction platform, to help raise money for a charitable cause tied to World Mental Health Day.
A spokesperson for the couple’s charitable organization, Archewell, confirmed the collaboration, saying: “We have partnered with many fundraising partners over the years, and CharityBuzz was one of them.”
While Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, have not publicly announced the auction themselves, sources suggest the dinner experience has been quietly offered to wealthy bidders.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source close to the fundraising efforts claimed that demand for such access remains strong. “People will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to have dinner with them,” the source said.
It has not been confirmed who won the auction, where the dinner will be held, or how many guests have been invited, adding an air of mystery to the exclusive event.
Despite the hefty price tag, the funds raised are expected to go directly towards the charitable causes supported by Archewell, especially initiatives related to mental health awareness.
