What was the nature of Prince Harry's departure from the charity Sentebale?
Prince Harry resigned from Sentebale in March 2025, a charity he co-founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. The departure involved a significant conflict with the charity's chairwoman, Sophie Chandauka, who accused Harry of orchestrating a bullying and harassment campaign to force her out, involving allegations of misogyny, misogynoir, and abuse of power. Sentebale's trustees and Harry described the breakdown as "devastating." Although the Charity Commission for England and Wales found no evidence of widespread or systemic bullying or harassment, Sentebale sued Harry in April for libel and slander, accusing him of a "coordinated adverse media campaign."
