The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s foundations have been reported to the UK's Charity Commission for alleged “inappropriate use of charitable funds, conflicts of interest and lack of independence”.

Republic, which campaigns for an elected head of state, has made the claims after Harry and Meghan’s Sussex Royal charitable body received a six-figure grant from William and Kate’s Royal Foundation.
