Burberry boss Angela Ahrendts has sold just over £500,000 worth of shares in the luxury brand to give to the charity set up by her and her husband Gregg Couch.

Ahrendts gave them to the Ahrendts-Couch Family Foundation, which sold them at 1148p a share, totalling £574,000.

The couple set up the private charity in the past few weeks in Delaware to give to good causes.

Ahrendts came under attack earlier this year when it emerged she received a one-off £5.8m share payment last year.
