Harry, the Prince, cautioned against a potentially unwise action towards Sentebale's chairperson.
In a turn of events, Prince Harry finds himself embroiled in a dispute with Dr Sophie Chandauka, the chairman of his ex-charity, Sentebale. The charity, co-founded by the Duke of Sussex, has recently welcomed the conclusion of a compliance case by the UK Charity Commission, which investigated governance concerns raised in February 2025.
According to a statement made by Jennie Bond to The Mirror, it would be unwise for Prince Harry to set up a rival charity, given the current situation. Bond, a former royal correspondent, believes that Harry will feel wounded by the turn of events but also expresses optimism that he will find a way to help the cause and raise funds.
The specifics of Harry's new approach are not yet detailed, but he has expressed his intention to help the children of Lesotho and Botswana in a different way. On the other hand, Harry's spokesperson has stated that the report falls short, particularly in the consequences of the current chair's actions not being borne by her but the children who rely on Sentebale's support.
The official findings into the matter reveal issues on both sides, with Sentebale acknowledging the governance issues confirmed by the Charity Commission, which echoed concerns previously raised by Prince Harry or his representatives. However, the search results do not provide detailed specifics about the nature of the dispute between the Duke of Sussex and the charity's chairman, nor do they outline any subsequent actions taken by either party following the Charity Commission's report.
As the progression of this issue is predicted to be challenging, experts have stated that Harry will face a tough rivalry. The couple, who now reside in California and have welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, have previously accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television.
Despite these challenges, Prince Harry remains committed to his cause, and it will be interesting to see how he navigates this complex situation while continuing to support the children in need.
