Charity Chief Calls Harry's Brand 'Toxic' Following Resignation

Dr. Sophie Chandauka, chair of the charity Sentebale co-founded by Prince Harry, has labeled his and Meghan Markle's brand as 'toxic' following Harry's resignation from the organization amid internal disputes. Chandauka accused Prince Harry of attempting to use the charity to protect Meghan's reputation and claimed that his controversial image has hindered the charity's ability to attract donors and hire staff. She expressed that the relationship between her and the Duke had deteriorated significantly, leading to a breakdown in trust among trustees. Despite their departures, Chandauka asserted that Sentebale will continue to operate, stating, 'with or without you,' in reference to Prince Harry. The charity, established in 2006 to support children affected by HIV in southern Africa, is now facing a restructuring amid these conflicts. Chandauka's comments highlight ongoing tensions and a struggle for direction within the organization, emphasizing the challenges posed by the Sussexes' public persona.
