Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charitable org has hit a snag -- being declared delinquent by the state of California, but there's a perfectly good explanation ... snail mail.
Here's the deal ... the Archewell Foundation was found to be "delinquent" this week on paying its renewal fees -- and it's technically barred from fundraising until that gets fixed. On its face, it sounded like the charity wasn't taking care of business ... but that's not quite the case.
We're told the reason Archewell was able to hit this not-so-great status is because a check to pay for these registration fees was simply never received, although we hear it was sent.
In other words ... the money to re-up its certification as a nonprofit just got lost in the mail -- and now, we're told another check is being cut ... and this one should cover the fees owed.
We're sure there'll be additional correspondence sent over to CA officials -- as the AG's original letter to them made it pretty clear that they ran the risk of being in bad standing if they didn't get it together ... that, or be booted from the Registry in one fell swoop.
The letter from the AG notifying Archewell of its delinquent status also made clear that if there was a delay in getting the fees paid, there better be a good explanation to make up for it.
Of course, Harry and Meghan are very much still involved in charity and philanthropy work -- as we just saw them in Nigeria for an unofficial visit ... where they made the rounds, attended events and chatted with the locals.
Seems like this one just slipped through the cracks ... time to get the house in order.

Anya Taylor-Joy is likely feeling grateful for her security team after one fan relentlessly pursued getting an autograph ... 'cause they were able to keep him away, but it took WORK!
Check out this wild video that's making the rounds online ... you see the actress -- who's in France promoting her new flick, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" -- making her way through a crowd of adoring fans shouting her name, and a bunch of people following her.
Anya -- rocking a body-hugging orange dress and an oversized sun hat -- tries to keep a cool demeanor as she walks alongside her security guard and other members of her team ... that is, until one dude insists on trying to get her John Hancock ... very aggressively.
The fan keeps putting himself directly in front of Anya's path -- despite the fact she's already politely declined signing an autograph ... and eventually, starts full-on rushing at the actress a number of times, forcing Anya's security guard to drag him back by the arm.
Anya repeatedly apologizes to the fans, eventually finding rescue in her awaiting town car ... where she's able to finally get away from all the madness. Luckily, the guy stays away.
This is probably just a taste of the frenzy awaiting the actress ... as the highly anticipated 'Mad Max' prequel is making its grand debut at the Cannes Film Festival -- where there will be hundreds of photographers documenting the red carpet.
'Furiosa' isn't the only buzzy premiere headed to Cannes ... as "The Apprentice," starring Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump, and "Emilia Pérez," starring Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña, is also hitting the film festival.
As for Anya though ... she's a rising star, and this is unfortunately part of the biz.
Hopefully these security guys get a raise ... 'cause they did a good ass job here.
