Sentebale Faces Leadership Crisis as Co-Founders Resign

Prince Harry, Prince Seeiso, and trustees step down after governance disputes with Chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka, prompting a Charity Commission investigation.

Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso resigned as patrons of Sentebale, citing an irreparable breakdown in trust with Chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
Dr. Chandauka remains in her role despite calls for her resignation and has sued the charity to retain her position.
The Charity Commission is conducting a fact-finding mission into governance concerns raised by both Dr. Chandauka and the departing trustees.
The charity's recent strategic shift from HIV/AIDS support in Lesotho and Botswana to broader youth-focused initiatives in Southern Africa has been a point of contention.
Several key figures, including long-serving trustees and executives, resigned prior to the co-founders' departure, raising questions about the charity's future stability and direction.
