Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso Resign from Sentebale Over Leadership Conflict

The co-founders step down, citing irreconcilable differences with the board chair, as the Charity Commission investigates governance concerns.

Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso have resigned as patrons of Sentebale, the charity they co-founded in 2006, due to a breakdown in trust with board chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
The dispute arose from disagreements over Sentebale's strategic shift to locally led operations and broader youth-focused initiatives in Southern Africa.
Dr. Chandauka has accused the trustees of harassment and poor governance, while the trustees claim she sued the charity to retain her position after they requested her resignation.
The Charity Commission is investigating governance issues at Sentebale, while the organization denies receiving formal resignations from its royal patrons.
Despite stepping down, Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso emphasized their continued commitment to Sentebale's mission and beneficiaries.
