UK Charity Commission Launches Inquiry Into Sentebale Governance Issues
The investigation follows allegations of misconduct and financial mismanagement, prompting resignations by Prince Harry, Prince Seeiso, and trustees.
- The UK Charity Commission has opened a regulatory compliance case into Sentebale to examine whether trustees and the chair fulfilled their legal duties.
- Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso resigned as patrons on March 26, citing an irreparable breakdown in governance with chair Sophie Chandauka.
- Chandauka has accused Harry and trustees of bullying, harassment, and racism, claims Harry has dismissed as false and damaging to the charity’s mission.
- Both Harry and Chandauka welcomed the investigation, with Harry expressing hope it will uncover the truth behind the resignations.
- Sentebale’s operations continue under new leadership, but its future remains uncertain as the inquiry progresses.
