Prince Harry has officially stepped down from his long-cherished charity, Sentebale, in what insiders call one of the most difficult decisions of his recent years.
The Duke of Sussex’s resignation comes amid an internal leadership dispute within the organization, which he co-founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to support children affected by HIV and AIDS.
Board Resigns Amid Governance Dispute
Reports reveal that Sentebale’s board of trustees, including Prince Harry, collectively resigned following ongoing tensions with the charity’s chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
Dr. Chandauka had raised serious concerns about the charity’s internal governance, citing allegations of abuse of power and discrimination. As internal conflicts escalated, the Charity Commission launched a formal investigation into Sentebale’s operations.
Loyalty and Timing of Harry’s Departure
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told GB News that Harry’s decision reflects his unwavering loyalty to those he trusts most.
“This organization has been incredibly close to his heart,” Schofield noted, adding that his resignation coincides with growing scrutiny surrounding Meghan Markle and her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
Uncertain Future for Sentebale
With its leadership in turmoil and a formal investigation underway, Sentebale’s future remains uncertain.
Harry’s departure marks a significant shift for the charity, raising questions about what lies ahead for the organization he helped build nearly two decades ago.
