Overview

  • The commission found no evidence of systemic harassment, intimidation or misogyny and cleared Prince Harry of the claims brought by Sentebale’s chair.
  • Sophie Chandauka accused Harry of harassment and intimidation in a public dispute that led to his resignation as a patron in March.
  • Regulators reproached all parties for allowing the board conflict to spill into public view, warning it undermined Sentebale’s reputation.
  • The report pointed to unclear role assignments among trustees and recommended clear written definitions of duties to prevent future disputes.
  • Under the reform plan, Sentebale must formalize patron responsibilities in writing and strengthen its internal dispute-resolution procedures.
