Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is embroiled in a controversy surrounding Sentebale, the charity he co-founded to support children and young people affected by HIV in Lesotho and Botswana. Sophie Chandauka, the chair of Sentebale, has accused Prince Harry of bullying. Chandauka alleges that Harry attempted to oust her from her role following a series of board conflicts. After failing to remove her, Chandauka claims, Harry resigned as patron of the organization in an attempt to damage it.
According to Chandauka, the disagreements stemmed from differing visions for the charity's future direction and governance. She stated that Harry's actions were detrimental to the charity's mission and undermined the work being done to support vulnerable children. A spokesperson for Prince Harry has not yet issued a formal response to the allegations. The accusations have sparked debate about leadership and accountability within charitable organizations, and the impact of personal conflicts on their important work. Sentebale continues its operations, focused on providing healthcare, education, and psychosocial support to young people affected by HIV.
