I think it’s pretty clear that the BRF have tapped Harry and Meghan to have their focus of work veer somewhat international/Commonwealth going forward. They have both been given Commonwealth position/offices, which seemed to be hinted at when she made such a point of having all of the Commonwealth represented on her wedding veil. That focus builds quite logically on his pre-Meghan history of African volunteer work and the Invictus games. The BRF is not simply the royal house of the UK. The queen has always placed great importance (moreso, I think, than many of her British subjects, especially those I see commenting here) on the role that her household plays in Commonwealth countries and the opportunities they have to make a difference on a global scale.
If the Sussex foundation is going to do work that tackles some of the most pressing issues in the poorest Commonwealth nations, they are going to need a lot of donations from all over the world. And if they want American corporate donations, or a seamless partnership with like-minded charitable groups with US headquarters, they need to be registered in the US as a 501(c)3.
As far as I am aware, H&M's roles within the Commonwealth are focussed on youth affairs. It is not the entire "international/Commonwealth" space.
