Meghan Markle has not publicly stepped up in support of her husband Prince Harry in his very public charity row. The Duke of Sussex, 40, stepped down earlier this year as patron of the charity Sentebale, which he co-founded in 2006 in honour of his mother the late Princess Diana.
The prince stepped down as a result of a reported dispute with chairwoman Sophie Chandauka, with the dispute also reportedly seeing other people involved in the charity, which helps young people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, step back. However, soon after announcing his decision, the duke was hit with damaging claims as he, along with other trustees of the charity, were accused by Chandauka of bullying, misogyny and racism.
While a report by Britain’s charity regulator found no evidence of bullying at the charity, all parties were criticised for the very public dispute, which could put the charity’s reputation in danger.
