Prince Harry Faces "Bullying at Scale" Accusations After Sentebale Resignation
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has found himself at the center of a heated controversy following his decision to step down from his role at Sentebale, the Africa-based charity he co-founded. The move came as a show of support for the board of trustees, who also resigned amid a bitter dispute with the charity’s former chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka. What started as an internal conflict has now escalated into a public feud, with allegations of "bullying at scale" being leveled against the prince.
Despite the storm of criticism, a glimmer of hope may be emerging for Harry. New and surprising claims about Dr. Chandauka have surfaced, potentially weakening her accusations against the son of King Charles.
According to a source who spoke to The Daily Telegraph, Dr. Chandauka is allegedly orchestrating a smear campaign against Prince Harry and the resigned trustees. The insider suggested that her accusations of bullying stem from a fallout over the loss of a significant sponsor for Sentebale. “As soon as anyone turns against her, she brings the race card in and she comes for you,” the source claimed, describing her as “a very poisonous woman.” They added, “It’s very sad it’s come to this.”
These revelations could shift the narrative and cast doubt on Dr. Chandauka’s credibility, offering Prince Harry a chance to regain ground in this ongoing saga.
Royal biographer Hugo Vickers weighed in on the matter in an interview with The Sun, calling the situation “very toxic and very difficult.” While he acknowledged that Dr. Chandauka’s feelings of being targeted should not be dismissed outright, Vickers emphasized the complexity of the issue. “Everybody has to be terribly careful whenever they mention anything to do with race issues, because it’s very complicated, and it’s very sensational,” he explained.
Vickers suggested that Dr. Chandauka is “using every possible bit of ammunition” in response to being ousted from her position, hinting at her deep frustration. He even drew parallels to Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, noting that she too has “played this card once or twice rather prominently” in the past.
As the feud unfolds, Vickers described the clash as “fair game,” with both sides vying to come out on top. For Prince Harry, the accusations of "bullying at scale" threaten to tarnish his public image, especially given his long-standing association with Sentebale, a charity focused on supporting vulnerable children in Africa. Meanwhile, Dr. Chandauka’s counterclaims have added fuel to an already fiery dispute, leaving observers wondering who will emerge victorious.
With tensions running high and new developments continuing to unfold, this royal controversy shows no signs of slowing down. For now, Prince Harry and his supporters may find some relief in the emerging doubts about his accuser, but the road ahead remains uncertain in this high-stakes battle of reputations.a
