Prince Harry Caught in Heated Clash with Ex-Chair of His Cherished Sentebale Charity
A fierce conflict has broken out within Prince Harry’s treasured charity, Sentebale, an organization he co-founded to honor his late mother, Princess Diana.
The charity, which focuses on helping young people impacted by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, is now at the heart of a messy public dispute.
The drama revolves around a falling-out between Prince Harry and Dr. Sophie Chandauka, the former chair of Sentebale. Royal expert Laura Bundock reported in Sky News that Chandauka recently gave an explosive interview, accusing Prince Harry of bullying, harassment, and orchestrating a smear campaign against her.
But not everyone agrees with her version of events. A source tied to Sentebale’s former trustees has shot back, calling Chandauka’s accusations “totally unfounded.” They pointed to an official statement from Prince Harry and his co-founder, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, which read:
“It’s heartbreaking that the bond between the charity’s trustees and the board chair deteriorated beyond repair, leading to an unsustainable situation. The trustees acted with the charity’s best interests at heart when they requested the chair’s resignation, prioritizing staff wellbeing. Instead, she took legal action against the charity to cling to her voluntary role, highlighting just how fractured things had become.”
This escalating feud has pushed Prince Harry to step away from Sentebale—a move insiders say was agonizing for him.
The clash isn’t just a problem for the charity; it’s raising red flags about Sentebale’s public image and, even more, the potential hit to Prince Harry’s own reputation as the controversy continues to unfold.
