UK Charity Commission Criticizes Prince Harry Over Sentebale Governance Dispute

Prince Harry's co-founded charity, Sentebale, has been embroiled in a public and damaging boardroom dispute involving allegations of bullying, harassment, and governance failures. The UK Charity Commission investigated and found no legal wrongdoing or systemic bullying but criticized all parties for allowing the conflict to play out publicly, harming the charity's reputation and trust. Harry resigned as patron amid the dispute with chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka, who accused him of involvement in a cover-up and blamed his brand's toxicity for a drop in donors. Harry's camp condemned the Charity Commission report, calling it insufficient and expressing concern that the consequences of Dr. Chandauka's actions would fall on the vulnerable children the charity supports. Despite the fallout and leadership criticisms, the commission allowed the current board to remain, making Harry's return unlikely. Both sides have blamed each other for the charity's turmoil, with Harry stating he was forced out and the chair denying wrongdoing, underscoring a bitter and unresolved conflict within Sentebale.
