Overview

  • The UK Charity Commission has launched an inquiry into Sentebale's governance following high-profile resignations and internal allegations of misconduct.
  • Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso stepped down as trustees in March 2025, citing an irreparable breakdown in their relationship with chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
  • Dr. Chandauka has accused the board of harassment, bullying, and racism, while claiming Harry used the charity to bolster his and Meghan Markle's public image.
  • Prince Harry's diminishing involvement with Sentebale since his 2018 marriage and his infrequent visits to Lesotho have drawn criticism from local leaders and stakeholders.
  • Sentebale, founded in 2006 to support HIV/AIDS-affected youth in Southern Africa, now faces uncertainty over its leadership stability and ability to fulfill its mission.
