Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Archewell Foundation has cut ties with an organisation after its founder allegedly made anti-Israel statements, according to new claims.
The Foundation severed its relationship with the Milwaukee Muslim Women's Coalition (MMWC) following comments by its founder, Janan Najeeb.
Najeeb described Israel as an "apartheid state" and used the phrase "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" in blog posts.
The charity, established by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2020, was thought to be "appalled" when made aware of these statements.

After Najeeb's comments were brought to light, GB News understands that a letter was sent to MMWC and its founder last week.
It is also understood that the Archewell Foundation has a zero tolerance policy towards hate speech.
As a result, the Foundation has ceased making any future donations to MMWC.
The Archewell Foundation had previously provided financial support to the Milwaukee Muslim Women's Coalition.

In a previous statement, Najeeb had thanked the Foundation for its support.
"We took swift and impactful action in response to the war on Gaza. Our efforts, alongside other Wisconsin-based organisations, aimed to raise awareness and demand human rights for Palestinians," she said.
The MMWC describes itself as a non-profit organisation based in Wisconsin that aims to educate locals on Islam, Muslims, and promote diversity in the US state.
The MMWC has been active on social media following the funding cut.

The organisation's official Instagram account has shared several posts about the Archewell Foundation stopping its funding and calling for support towards the coalition.
Meanwhile, the Archewell Foundation has remained silent on the matter. Neither the Foundation's website nor its social media pages have addressed the situation publicly.
GB News has contacted both Archewell and Janan Najeeb for comment.
