Sentebale Investigation: Trustees Deny Allegations

The UK Charity Commission has opened a regulatory compliance investigation into Sentebale, a charity co-founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, following a significant dispute involving the charity's chair, Sophie Chandauka. Allegations of bullying, harassment, and poor governance have been exchanged between Chandauka and the trustees, leading to the resignation of Harry and other trustees. Harry and Prince Seeiso expressed relief at the investigation, hoping it will uncover the truth behind the resignations. Chandauka has accused Harry of orchestrating a campaign against her, which he denies, citing the allegations as 'blatant lies.' The investigation will assess whether the trustees have fulfilled their legal duties under charity law. Despite the internal conflict, the charity continues its mission to support young people in southern Africa affected by HIV and AIDS.
