Prince Harry sued for libel by his former charity Sentebale, court record shows
The charity says the suit follows an adverse media campaign that caused operational disruption and reputational harm, and it seeks court protection and restitution.
- Court records revealed on Friday that Sentebale filed a libel claim against Prince Harry and former trustee Mark Dyer at the High Court in London, though no details of the lawsuit were disclosed.
- This litigation follows Harry's March 2025 resignation as patron, which stemmed from a public falling-out with board chair Sophie Chandauka, who subsequently reported him to regulators for alleged bullying and harassment.
- Britain's Charity Commission reported on Friday it found no evidence of bullying, yet criticized all parties for weak governance and allowing internal disputes to become public.
- Chandauka previously stated that Harry's "unleashing of the Sussex machine" fractured the relationship between the prince and the 540 staff members who work for Sentebale.
- Founded nearly 20 years ago by the Duke and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, Sentebale supports young people living with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, a mission now complicated by the legal dispute.
