Some staff members at Smart Works sent complaints to the charity's CEO, Kate Peters, urging her to remove Meghan Markle as patron following her "high-hat" letter.
The letter, which was leaked to the media, was written by Meghan to the charity's communications team. In the letter, Meghan criticized the team for not doing enough to promote her work with the charity. She also accused the team of being "lazy" and "incompetent."

The letter was met with widespread criticism, with many people accusing Meghan of being out of touch and entitled. Some people also called for her to be removed as patron of the charity.
In response to the complaints, Peters said that she would be meeting with Meghan to discuss the matter. She also said that she would be conducting an independent review of the charity's communications team.
It is unclear what the outcome of the review will be, but it is likely that Meghan's role as patron of Smart Works will be reviewed. It is also possible that she will be asked to step down from the role.
The incident has highlighted the challenges that charities face when they work with high-profile celebrities. When celebrities become involved in charities, they often bring a lot of attention and publicity to the cause. However, they can also be demanding and difficult to work with.
It is important for charities to have clear policies in place when they work with celebrities. These policies should outline the expectations of both the charity and the celebrity. They should also include a process for dealing with any disputes or disagreements that may arise.
