Chair of Prince Harry's charity accuses him of 'harassment and bullying at scale' after his public resignation

The chair of the charity co-founded by Prince Harry has accused him of “harassment and bullying at scale” after he announced his resignation last week.

The chair of the charity co-founded by Prince Harry has accused him of “harassment and bullying at scale” after he announced his resignation last week.

In an interview with Sky News that aired on Sunday, Sentebale chair Sophie Chandauka cited Harry’s resignation statement as an “unleashing of the Sussex machine” against her and the organization’s employees.

“At some point on Tuesday, Prince Harry authorized the release of a damaging piece of news to the outside world without informing me or my country directors or my executive director,” Chandauka said. “And can you imagine what that attack has done for me, on me, and the 540 individuals in the Sentebale organizations and their family? That is an example of bullying and harassment at scale.”

The Duke of Sussex founded Sentebale alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, with the aim of helping young people in the southern African nations of Lesotho and Botswana tackle health issues such as HIV and AIDS, as well as wealth inequity and climate resilience.

The two originally set up the charity to honor their late mothers, Britain’s Princess Diana and Lesotho’s Queen Mamohato. Both quit as patrons of Sentebale after a fallout between its chairperson and the trustees.
