Prince Harry Resigns from Sentebale Amid Governance Controversy

Prince Harry and co-founder Prince Seeiso have stepped down from their roles as patrons of Sentebale, the charity established in 2006 to support children in southern Africa affected by HIV and AIDS. Their resignation was prompted by a breakdown in the relationship with the charity's chairwoman, Dr. Sophie Chandauka, leading to several trustees also resigning in solidarity. In a joint statement, they expressed devastation over the situation, which escalated to a lawsuit from the chair against the charity after trustees requested her resignation. The trustees emphasized their commitment to the charity's best interests and described their decision as heartbreaking. Harry's connection to Sentebale is deeply personal, as it honors his late mother, Princess Diana, and has been a significant part of his adult life. This turmoil comes amid a challenging period for Harry, who has faced various controversies and legal battles in recent years.
