Charity Commission Investigates Sentebale as Leadership Turmoil Escalates
Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso resign in solidarity with trustees, while allegations and governance concerns cloud the charity's future.
- The UK Charity Commission has officially launched an investigation into Sentebale's governance and operations following high-profile resignations.
- Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso stepped down as patrons, citing an 'untenable' situation between the board of trustees and chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
- Dr. Chandauka accused Prince Harry of harassment and bullying, claims that have been denied as 'categorically false' by sources close to the former trustees.
- The leadership crisis has raised concerns about Sentebale's financial stability, donor confidence, and ability to continue its mission of supporting vulnerable youth in Southern Africa.
- Both sides express hope that the investigation will clarify the issues and allow the charity to refocus on its core objectives.
