Sentebale Faces Turmoil as Founders Resign Over Governance Crisis
Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso step down citing an 'untenable' situation, while allegations of racism, bullying, and legal disputes engulf the charity.
- Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso resigned from Sentebale, describing the governance conflict with chairwoman Sophie Chandauka as 'beyond repair.'
- Chandauka has accused trustees, including Harry, of bullying and racism, alleging a 'cover-up' to force her out of her position.
- A white trustee allegedly compared Chandauka's leadership to Rhodesia's white minority rule, a comment she found deeply offensive.
- Chandauka launched legal action to block her removal as chair, prompting trustees to resign to avoid financial and operational strain on the charity.
- The UK Charity Commission has opened an investigation into allegations of governance failures, leaving Sentebale's future uncertain.
