Overview

• Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso stepped down from Sentebale in solidarity with trustees who resigned after disputes with chair Sophie Chandauka over governance and leadership issues.
• Sophie Chandauka accused Prince Harry of bullying and harassment, including sending an 'unpleasant' message after she declined to publicly defend Meghan Markle following an awkward polo event incident.
• The UK Charity Commission is investigating governance concerns at Sentebale after allegations of systemic issues and misconduct were raised by both sides.
• Chandauka has claimed racial and gender prejudice, describing her treatment as 'misogynoir,' while critics allege she is using these accusations to deflect from her leadership challenges.
• The public fallout has raised questions about the charity's future stability and reputation, with financial and operational strain reportedly escalating under Chandauka's tenure.
