Prince Harry might be stepping away from Sentebale, but his bond with Lesotho? Still rock solid. Even with the recent mess swirling around his exit from the HIV charity—tied to reported clashes with its chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka—the Duke of Sussex holds a “special place” in the hearts of many in this southern African nation.
The people of Lesotho aren’t letting a little controversy dim their admiration for Harry. They’ve got his back, cheering his years of do-good work in the region. Neo Kolane, editor of *The Reporter* newspaper in Lesotho, put it plain and simple to GB News: “Prince Harry is deeply admired for his philanthropic work.” And it’s not hard to see why—he’s been at it since 2006, when he co-founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso to honor his late mom, Princess Diana.
Sure, the headlines are buzzing about Harry and Seeiso’s departure from the charity. Word is, things got heated with Dr. Chandauka, stirring up some internal drama. But in Lesotho? They’re not sweating it. Kolane doubled down, saying, “The people of Lesotho still hold special Prince Harry in high regard.” That’s the kind of loyalty that doesn’t fade overnight.
Harry’s legacy here isn’t just talk—it’s real impact, etched into the community through Sentebale’s efforts. While the charity spat’s got tongues wagging, it’s barely scratched the surface of the love Lesotho’s got for the Duke. King Charles’ estranged son might be facing a bumpy road, but in this corner of the world, his humanitarian cred still shines bright. Controversy or not, Harry’s still their guy!
