Prince Harry is feeling anxious — but not for himself, for the cause he’s championed for nearly two decades.
After a recent controversy within his African charity Sentebale, the UK’s charity watchdog cleared Harry of bullying accusations made by the organisation’s chairperson, Sophie Chandauka. The dispute earlier this year saw Harry and his co-founder, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, step down after other trustees resigned when Chandauka refused to quit her role.
Sentebale, founded in 2006 in honour of Princess Diana, has worked to help young people in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV and AIDS. Despite leaving his official position, Harry is determined that the charity’s work — fighting poverty and supporting HIV-positive youth — must continue.
According to insiders, Harry is “anxious” to make sure the mission survives. He and Prince Seeiso are now discussing the idea of starting a new charity or partnering with similar organisations already active in the region.
