Charity row: Prince Harry hits back at ‘blatant lies’ over Sentebale
- In 2006, Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho co-founded Sentebale, meaning 'forget-me-not' in Sesotho, to support children and young people in southern Africa, particularly those affected by HIV and AIDS, in memory of their mothers.
- The charity, initially focused on Lesotho and Botswana, evolved to address broader issues like youth health, wealth, and climate resilience in Southern Africa, signaling this shift in April 2024.
- A dispute arose within Sentebale regarding fundraising focus and governance, leading to Dr. Sophie Chandauka, the chairwoman, reporting trustees to the Charity Commission and obtaining an injunction to prevent her removal.
- Amid the internal conflict, Dr. Chandauka alleged 'issues of poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny and misogynoir,' while former trustee Dr. Kelello Lerotholi stated he did not witness such issues during his time on the board.
- On March 25, 2025, Prince Harry, Prince Seeiso, and several trustees resigned from Sentebale, expressing a loss of trust in the chair and concerns they would share with the Charity Commission, which acknowledged being aware of governance concerns and is assessing the situation.
