Prince Harry’s latest move has landed him in hot water again, stirring up a storm after his surprise announcement amid some serious behind-the-scenes drama.
The Duke of Sussex shocked everyone by stepping down as patron of the Sentebale charity, a decision that’s now clashing with earlier reports tied to a messy court battle. Word on the street was that a judge had slapped an injunction on the charity to stop them from kicking out their chairwoman, Dr. Sophie Chandauka. But it turns out, that might not be the full story.
According to GB News, the real trouble’s brewing in the boardroom, where things have gotten ugly. Several trustees have jumped ship after locking horns with Dr. Chandauka, the charity’s chairperson. Reports say it all went downhill when the trustees demanded her resignation—and she flat-out refused. They even tried to force her out with a vote, but she wasn’t having it.
In response, Dr. Chandauka took the fight to the High Court, filing a legal challenge to block their next meeting. Here’s where it gets murky—while there’s no official record of what went down at the Royal Courts of Justice, insiders told GB News that the court didn’t actually grant that injunction. With the charity’s board meeting called off, the judge apparently decided there was no need for more hearings or courtroom drama. So, where does that leave Dr. Chandauka’s legal push? Honestly, it’s anyone’s guess right now. One thing’s clear, though—Prince Harry himself isn’t the one facing any lawsuits here.
This all comes on the heels of the Duke of Sussex dropping a bombshell by quitting his patron role on Tuesday night, right as tensions among Sentebale’s top brass were hitting a boiling point.
