Markle praised a journalist who is now under investigation by the WHO for involvement in the false confession of Peter Humphrey. As a celebrity, it doesn't matter who she befriends. As a royal, she needs only look as far as Prince Andrew to understand the fallout of making poor choices in friends.
"A British journalist who rose to stardom on China’s state television is being investigated by the World Health Organisation over his role as one of its celebrity ambassadors. ...
In 2013, Chau presented a programme that aired a confession by Peter Humphrey, a British corporate investigator working in China, who claims it was obtained under duress and he was drugged and locked in an iron chair inside a steel cage before being forced to admit ‘crimes’ of illegally sharing personal data...
Mr Humphreys and his wife were subsequently convicted and jailed for two years. Since being deported from China, Mr Humphreys has claimed he was forced to make the confession, although it is not apparent from the footage. ...
Despite the backlash from human rights campaigners, Chau – who went to City of London School before Cambridge and the Royal Academy of Music – has won praise from a string of famous faces, including Meghan Markle. ...
Chau has also been accused of helping Beijing whitewash its handling of the coronavirus crisis with TV reports that have been entirely positive. He has excused the state’s repressive measures, saying: ‘You do what you have to do. Not everything is “draconian”.’
Chau, 42, has also claimed that comparing Covid-19 with the Sars outbreak in 2002 exaggerated ‘the scale and severity of the Wuhan outbreak’. "
