Charity Represented By Meghan Markle Accused Of Racism
A children’s charity, for which the Duchess of Sussex Meghan was a global ambassador, has denied allegations of racism and sexism.
Meghan got involved with World Vision in 2016, the year she met Prince Harry, and went on trips to see its work, including to Rwanda and India.
A picture of Meghan hugging a child during the visit to Rwanda became famous, and the charity praised her as a
“true humanitarian”who would bring
“vast energy”to her royal work.
The Charity Commission is assessing a complaint that the international charity’s British arm is an allegedly
“toxic”and
“hostile”workplace, with complaints of racism, sexism and homophobia allegedly being
“ignored, silenced or inadequately handled”by senior leadership.
World Vision UK has denied the allegations, but has filed a serious incident report with the regulator following claims by the Third Sector website, which interviewed 11 current and former staff.
