Prince Harry Quits Sentebale Charity After Dispute, Commission Finds No Widespread Bullying

Prince Harry is deeply distressed by the public dispute and leadership turmoil at Sentebale, the charity he co-founded to support children with HIV/AIDS in southern Africa, which has led to his resignation as patron. The Charity Commission's investigation found no evidence of widespread bullying or racism but criticized both sides for publicly airing their conflicts, which damaged the charity's reputation and governance. The dispute centered around chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka, who sought to adopt an executive leadership role not recognized under UK law, and despite her significant donations and voluntary work, tensions escalated resulting in multiple trustees resigning. Harry has expressed frustration that his efforts to protect the charity's mission and legacy, in memory of Princess Diana, have been undermined and indicated he will focus on new ways to support affected children outside Sentebale. Meanwhile, Harry also revealed ongoing family tensions, particularly with King Charles III, which complicate his desire to reconnect with his family and bring his children to the UK. Both Harry and Chandauka acknowledged the difficulties but hope for the charity's future amid the governance overhaul mandated by the regulator.
