Overview
- The Charity Commission’s compliance report found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment by Prince Harry or other trustees, though it acknowledged perceptions of ill treatment among some involved.
- Regulators identified role confusion around chair powers and inadequate internal complaints procedures, issuing an action plan to strengthen governance structures at Sentebale.
- The commission criticised both the charity’s leadership and its chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka, for allowing a public dispute that risked undermining trust in the organisation.
- Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso resigned as patrons in March after a leadership clash with Dr Chandauka and Harry has since fully severed ties with Sentebale.
- Prince Harry is exploring launching a new charity or partnering with existing organisations to continue aiding children affected by HIV and Aids in Lesotho and Botswana.
