Harry and Meghan's charity 'delinquent' over records mishap, US authority says
It is understood that the issue centres around a cheque sent by Archewell Foundation that was not received by California's Registry of Charities and Fundraisers.
It is understood that a physical cheque was sent by Archewell Foundation but not received, and a new one has been sent to resolve the issue.
It is believed the charity was only made aware of this when the delinquency notice was published.
Sounds like an admin issue. More amusing is the Archewell Foundation mission.
On its website, the foundation says its mission is to "show up, do good", adding: "We meet the moment by showing up, taking action and using our unparalleled spotlight to uplift and unite communities - local and global - through acts of service and compassion."
The mission sounds like a willingness to meet the moment by showing up for a photo op on your premises. That's not delinquent at all.

Certainly, the Royal Family seems to have been uplifted and united by Meghan's showing up.
(i) I'm sure I once read that if you sent a letter to a government office and had proof of posting then the courts would treat the letter as having been delivered. Maybe the mail in California is less trusted.
(Though even in Britain how could you demonstrate what your original letter said?)
(ii) A cheque? Not an electronic transfer but a cheque? Golly. I hardly write cheques nowadays.
Sam - yes, fully uplifted and united in the view that they don't want another visit in case they overdo the exhilaration of it all.
dearieme - yes, a missing cheque sounds more like an excuse. We haven't written a cheque for a number of years now, we even pay the window cleaner by bank transfer.
