Prince Harry’s Charity Exit Sparks Plans for New Project with Prince Seeiso
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has walked away from his long-time charity Sentebale after a damaging report claimed he had “harmed” its reputation. This marked the end of years of work alongside co-founder Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, with the official split happening in March this year.
Even though the fallout was public, Harry still cares deeply about the charity’s cause — helping fight poverty and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana. Sources say he’s now in talks with Seeiso about launching a new charity, which could become a rival to Sentebale. The two are considering either starting from scratch or joining forces with other charities doing similar work in the region.
Harry’s spokesperson confirmed that “all options remain on the table,” leaving the door open for multiple possibilities.
However, critics haven’t been silent. Royal author Phil Dampier suggested that Harry has been more interested in celebrity appearances and glamorous polo events than in fixing tensions within Sentebale. Disagreements over how the charity should operate — such as whether high-profile polo matches were appropriate — eventually played out in public, with the Charity Commission blaming both sides for the messy fallout.
In short: Prince Harry wants to continue his humanitarian work, but his public charity split and focus on high-profile appearances have raised questions about where his priorities truly lie.
