Her father's effort and story captured millions of people. It was wonderful and heartwarming. I personally don't doubt that that money went straight to the NHS foundation, simply because it was never accessible to her, it was going through a fundraising platform she could never access.
She made the serious miscalculation that she could use his story and make a well-paid career out of it for herself. That could never work for a number of reasons: the pandemic is over and he died. End of story.
There is no reason to donate to his legacy. Psychologically, the story is over in people's minds. Her desparate clinging to it doesn't change that. There are other charities and causes. And now she has even sullied his memory, by demonstrating that all the good and wholesome values he presented, she is no part of.
This will be the end of her fundraising career, as it very well should be. They should have honored him by never pursuing it in the first place.

Great analysis. I worry there is more to come. The foundation has been reported over data privacy concerns now, I can't see it last much longer.
