Anti-monarchy group, Republic, have referred the Royal Foundation to the Charity Commission, claiming money given to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charity endeavours was an
"inappropriate use of charitable funds". The Duke of Sussex's response to the accusation was said to have "made more of this story than necessarily warranted". ITV
Royal Rota podcast hosts Chris Ship and Lizzie Robinson noted the difference in responses between the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. A spokesperson for
Kate and William said: "The grants made to Sussex Royal were to support the charitable work of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. “They were fully in line with governance requirements and
were reported transparently.” Prince Harry issued a significantly longer response through his legal team. Ms Robinson said that they may have felt that due to the nature of the accusations
they wanted to provide a further comment. READ MORE: CAMILLA, DUCHESS' HIDDEN MESSAGE IN 'SPECIALLY MADE' OUTFIT REVEALED She told listeners: "A lot of people have said
the response made more of this story than necessarily warranted. "The Royal Foundation's had two lines. That deals with it, and it goes away. "But by putting out paragraph
after paragraph, there is much more that can then be reported and said about this. "So it's sort of adding fuel to the fire." Mr Ship said: "Republic isn't going to
put out reports or press releases that support the monarchy. "It's whole purpose is for the abolition of the monarchy, I don't know why Harry was so surprised about that.
"It is the job of pressure groups to create publicity around their cause, and they have successfully done that. Or you could say Harry has successfully done that." A legal letter
will be issued to Republic in due course. The Charity Commission put out a statement saying they have not made any determination of wrongdoing.
