Dubbed The Oli Juste Wing, the brand new part of The Mayhew Animal Home was named in reminiscence of the Duchess’ late good friend, canine coach/animal behaviorist Oli Juste.
Knowing their shared love of our four-legged buddies, it was he who had introduced the charitable group to the eye of the Duchess in 2019, prompting her to grow to be royal patron of the animal rescue.

Through The Archewell Foundation, The Duchess of Sussex made a beneficiant contribution towards the creation of the wing.
