Mayhew is a London-based charity that works internationally to “improve the lives of cats and dogs”.
In a letter shared exclusively with The Independent, Meghan explained that she was introduced to the charity by the animal behaviourist.
But sadly, her “dear friend” Oli passed away earlier this year.
It has left me, and so many others, heartbroken and reflective.
Meghan told the publication: “On 15 January, 2022, my beloved friend Oli tragically and very suddenly passed away.
“It has left me, and so many others, heartbroken and reflective – knowing that the legacy he leaves for our furry friends is beautifully simple: just love them. Especially those left behind or forgotten.”
Speaking of their friendship, she added: “We shared, amongst many things, a commitment to animal welfare, and a deep love of rescue dogs.”

The Duchess went on to reveal that Oli and his fiancé previously helped care for one of her dogs.
“In fact, it was Oli and his fiancé Rob who helped care for my rescue dog, Guy, when I had just moved to the UK and he was recovering from a debilitating accident,” she explained.
In memory of her late friend, Meghan has since made a “generous donation” to his charity.

It’s reported that Harry and Meghan, who live in America with their two children, didn’t attend over security concerns.
