Sentebale: Prince Harry accused of ‘harassment and bullying’ as African Charity chair speaks out

The chair of Sentebale, the charity co-founded by Prince Harry, has accused him of “harassment and bullying at scale” following a series of resignations from the organisation earlier this week.

Dr Sophie Chandauka, chair of Sentebale, claimed the Duke of Sussex initiated the situation through “the unleashing of the Sussex [PR] machine.”

Speaking to Trevor Phillips on Sky’s Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, she stated:

“The only reason I’m here… is because at some point on Tuesday, Prince Harry authorised the release of a damaging piece of news to the outside world without informing me or my country directors, or my executive director.

“And can you imagine what that attack has done for me, on me and the 540 individuals in the Sentebale organisations and their family?

When contacted for a response regarding the interview, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex declined to provide any formal comment.

A source close to the former trustees of Sentebale dismissed Dr Chandauka’s claims as “completely baseless,” denying that she had been bullied or harassed by Prince Harry or that the Sussex PR team had been deployed against her.

The controversy has drawn significant attention, overshadowing even major global figures such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Rachel Reeves.

The dispute within Sentebale, a charity dedicated to supporting families affected by AIDS in Africa, has not only threatened the organisation’s vital work but also placed the reputations of those involved under intense scrutiny.
