Meghan Markle has been urged to break her silence amid Prince Harry<\/a>‘s feud between the board chairwoman and trustees of the charity he helped co-found, Sentebale.<\/a> The Duke of Sussex stepped down as a Sentebale patron in March in support of trustees who resigned in opposition to the board chairwoman, Dr Sophie Chandauka, who previously accused Harry of bullying and harassment.<\/p>\n

In a report published last week, the Charity Commission criticised all sides for making the fallout public with interviews and statements. Columist for the Daily Mail<\/a>, Dr Max Pemberton, claims Meghan Markle<\/a> has not shown any public words of support for her husband. He writes: “He [Prince Harry<\/a>] is said to be devastated. What\u2019s puzzling is that Meghan has remained silent. No public words of support. Maybe behind closed doors she\u2019s been his rock.<\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, she celebrated her 44th birthday last Monday<\/a>. On Instagram<\/a> she posted a picture in which she thanked \u2018my husband\u2019 in passing, she didn\u2019t name him and there was no sign of Harry.”<\/p>\n

The columnist continued: “While Harry is battling court cases and losing his beloved charity, Meghan seems to be on a high with her As Ever brand and Netflix<\/a> show. In successful partnerships, there is always one person to lift you up when you fall down. Without someone like this, life is infinitely harder and less fun.”<\/p>\n

Prince Harry<\/a>\u2019s gap year in Lesotho in 2004 led to him setting up the charity Sentebale in 2006 in memory of his mother, the late Princess Diana. Sentebale works to support the health and well-being of young people<\/a>, especially those with HIV and AIDS, in Botswana and Lesotho.<\/p>\n

It was co-founded by Harry<\/a> and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006. Seeiso also stepped down as patron in March.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, a spokesperson for Harry said: “The duke remains absolutely committed to continuing the work he started, supporting the children and young people of Lesotho and Botswana, nearly 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

“In what form that support takes – no decisions have been made. All options remain on the table; whether that be starting a new charity or working to support pre-existing charities operating in the same sector in the region.”<\/p>\n

The charity regulator, which cannot investigate individual allegations of bullying, said it found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment at Sentebale, including misogyny or misogynoir.<\/p>\n

The trustees who resigned said in a statement they were “gravely concerned for the future of the charity” as they felt the commission had “chosen to ignore key concerns and irrefutable evidence raised with them regarding the leadership and oversight of Sentebale’s chair”.<\/p>\n

In response to the findings, Sentebale said: “The Charity Commission is explicitly clear, including in its public guidance, that it is not the commission’s responsibility to adjudicate or mediate internal disputes. This would include individual allegations of bullying, harassment, misogyny, misogynoir etc.<\/p>\n

“As a result, the commission has not investigated any individual allegations and therefore has not made any findings in relation to individuals, including Prince Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The issues not investigated by the commission can and may be dealt with through avenues more appropriate than the commission.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle has been urged to break her silence amid Prince Harry‘s feud between the board chairwoman and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,7718,7720,1281,12928,447,33358,120182,7710,519,120181,17650,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-335852","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-harry","12":"tag-meghan","13":"tag-meghan-markle","14":"tag-meghan-markle-sussex","15":"tag-prince-harry","16":"tag-prince-harry-charity","17":"tag-prince-harry-charity-feud","18":"tag-royal-families","19":"tag-royal-family","20":"tag-senetable-news","21":"tag-sentebale","22":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115010447008579077","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
