The stunt has since gone viral with plenty of amused fans taking to Twitter to comment on the embarrassing prank.
“Meghan and Harry's Archewell website link redirects to 'Gold Digger'. Not normally a fan of cyber antics, but this is Geniiiius!” one person wrote.
Another fan tweeted: “If u type archewellfoundation.com YouTube plays Golddigger by Kanye West. Hilarious. 10/10.”
A third person added: “Now I ain't saying that she a gold digger, but sweet Yeezus, what a hilarious, if slightly belated April Fools, by whoever scooped the #Archewell foundation website.”
Speaking to The Telegraph this week, the royal couple said the name of the foundation was inspired by the word "Arche", which also influenced the name of their firstborn son, Archie.
“Before SussexRoyal, came the idea of Arche - the Greek word meaning source of action,” Harry and Meghan told the British publication.
“We connected to this concept for the charitable organisation we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son's name. To do something of meaning, to do something that matters.”
"Archewell is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon. We look forward to launching Archewell when the time is right," they added.
