Chair of African charity Prince Harry co-founded says the royal orchestrated a bullying campaign
LONDON — The chairperson of an African charity co-founded by Prince Harry accused the royal on Sunday of orchestrating a bullying and harassment campaign to try to force her out as she pushed back following his abrupt resignation from the organization.
Sophie Chandauka, the Sentebale chair, took several shots at Harry on Sky News in which she described how the prince’s Netflix deal interfered with a scheduled fundraiser and how an incident with his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, became a source of friction.
The Duke of Sussex cited a breakdown in the relationship between board members and Chandauka when he resigned Tuesday as a patron of the charity he co-founded nearly 20 years ago in memory of his late mother, Princess Diana.
Harry and co-founder Prince Seeiso of Lesotho said in a joint statement that they quit „with heavy hearts“ as patrons in support of the trustees in their dispute with Chandauka.
„It is devastating that the relationship between the charity’s trustees and the chair of the board broke down beyond repair, creating an untenable situation“, the princes said. „In turn, she sued the charity to remain in this voluntary position, further underscoring the broken relationship.
