Overview

• Channel 5 aired Prince Harry: My Terrible Year, in which former Queen’s press secretary Ailsa Anderson urged him to “stop being the victim” and called his disclosures about family matters impulsive
• A Charity Commission report cleared individuals of wrongdoing but rebuked governance at Sentebale, prompting Harry to step away from the board and file a formal complaint against chair Dr Sophie Chandauka
• In July, representatives from King Charles’s and Harry’s households held their first aide-level discussions in years at the Royal Over-Seas League, opening a tentative communications channel
• Harry signaled his ongoing commitment to African causes by exploring new charitable ventures with Prince Seeiso after withdrawing from Sentebale
• Despite these moves, core obstacles to reconciliation remain, including mistrust over security arrangements and the impact of Harry’s public disclosures
