Prince Harry resigns from Sentebale amid board disputes

Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso have resigned as patrons of their charity Sentebale, co-founded in 2006 to support vulnerable children affected by HIV and Aids in Lesotho and Botswana. Their departure follows a significant internal dispute between the charity's board of trustees and chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka, which the princes described as creating an 'untenable situation.' The trustees, who also resigned, cited a loss of trust in Chandauka, who responded by suing them to maintain her position. Both princes expressed shock at the circumstances leading to their resignation and emphasized their commitment to the charity's beneficiaries, pledging to share their concerns with the Charity Commission. Chandauka defended her actions, claiming she was advocating for the organization's integrity and fairness. This situation has raised serious questions about governance within Sentebale and has attracted the attention of the Charity Commission.
