Meghan Markle is being urged to speak out about the bullying accusations that have been leveled against
Prince Harry. The Duke of Sussex stepped down from his charity, Sentebale, after the board chair,
Dr. Sophie Chandauka, claimed Harry harassed her when they worked together. But the former actress hasn't said a word in defense of her husband.

According to royal expert
Dr. Max Pemberton, people have wondered why Meghan Markle has not publicly acknowledged the scandal
Prince Harry is currently enduring. "He is said to be devastated. What's puzzling is that Meghan has remained silent. No public words of support. Maybe behind closed doors she's been his rock," he
wrote. "Meanwhile, she celebrated her 44th birthday [on August 4]. On Instagram she posted a picture in which she thanked 'my husband' in passing, she didn't name him and there was no sign of Harry. … 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 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."

Prince Harry cofounded Sentebale in 2006 as a tribute to his late mother,
Princess Diana. The organization helps those battling HIV and AIDS in Botswana and Lesotho. After he left Sentebale, a representative for the father of two 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. 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."

An official investigation found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment at Sentebale. But some members of the organization were dissatisfied with the results, insisting that the probe didn't dig deep enough and clarifying that it didn't let
Prince Harry off the hook for the specific allegations against him. "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," the Sophie Chandauka-fronted Sentebale said in a statement. "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. The issues not investigated by the commission can and may be dealt with through avenues more appropriate than the commission."
