Overview

• The UK Charity Commission has opened a regulatory compliance case to examine governance concerns and legal compliance at Sentebale.
• Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso resigned as patrons after a breakdown in relations with chair Sophie Chandauka, calling the situation 'untenable.'
• Several trustees stepped down after unsuccessfully seeking Chandauka’s resignation, citing a loss of trust and confidence in her leadership.
• Chandauka has accused Prince Harry and others of bullying, harassment, and systemic governance failures, allegations dismissed by critics as a publicity stunt.
• The investigation aims to assess the compliance of past and current trustees with charity law, raising questions about Sentebale’s future stability and operations.
