A charity Prince Harry is patron of is seeking a new trustee just days after the duke has stepped down from another charity. WellChild, which Harry has been a proud patron of since 2007, is advertising for a doctor with experience in caring for children and young people with complex medical needs to join as a trustee. The charity has said it wants the doctor to be experienced in paediatric care and know the current challenging environment faced by children with complex medical needs and their families.

The new recruitment will not impact Harry’s role of patron as the charity, which saw him return to the UK last year for the WellChild Awards. Meghan Markle did not accompany her husband back to the UK for the event. WellChild is simply recruiting for a new trustee.

The news that the WellChild charity seeking a new trustee comes just days after the Duke of Sussex, 40, has stepped down from another charity.

Last week, Harry revealed he has stepped down from the Sentebale charity he cofounded with Prince Seeiso.

The duke said the decision to resign as patron is in support of others who have left following failed calls for the chairwoman of the charity Dr Sophie Chandauka to resign.

Since Harry’s resignation was made public, Dr Chandauka has taken to the media to accuse Harry of “bullying” - claims which have been denied.

She also said Harry and Meghan Markle's "Sussex brand" was detrimental to Sentebale and that she believes donors had abandoned the non-profit charity as a result of the negative public perception of the Duke of Sussex since his decision to quit royal life in 2020.

These claims were made by the chair during a bombshell interview with Sky News' Trevor Phillips on Sunday morning.

She said: “It was quite obvious to me that we had lost quite a number of corporate sponsors - we'd lost some families and individuals who were donating to the organisation - and there was quite a significant correlation between [that] and Prince Harry's departure from the UK.”

Prince Harry is yet to respond publicly to the claims made by Dr Sophie Chandauka last weekend.
