Gavin Newsom goes out of his way to defend Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation
California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom went out of his way Tuesday, to defend Prince Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation.
This he did amid a scandal over the late payment of a $200 filing fee, something that officials say is resolved.
Newsom, considered by many to be a shining light in American liberal politics, was speaking at an event in the crime ridden Bay Area promoting a $3.3 billion investment in mental health treatment.
But the governor made the unusual decision to go off-script to stand up for the pair after the recent row over the Archewell Foundation calling the charity’s work ‘extraordinary.’
‘I just want folks to know that not only are they in compliance, it was a technical paperwork issue that was wildly overhyped,’ he said.
