Prince Harry allegedly asked Dr. Sophie Chandauka, the chair of his Sentebale charity, to give a public message of support for his wife, Meghan Markle, after their polo fundraiser “went badly.”
In a new interview on Sky News’ “Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips,” Dr. Chandauka recalled the obstacles she faced while planning the Royal Salute Polo Challenge, which was held in Miami in April 2024.
The Zimbabwean corporate finance lawyer claimed the charity lost its initial venue because the Duke of Sussex wanted to bring the Netflix camera crew to the polo event.
“We had a very generous family that was happy for us to use their polo grounds at a material discount,” she said.
“And then about a month before the event was about to take place, Prince Harry called the team and said, ‘I’m doing a Netflix show and I would love to bring a camera crew so that I can shoot some footage in this show.’”
Dr. Chandauka said the team called her and said they were going to accommodate Harry’s request, however, she told them they needed to seek consent from the people who owned the polo grounds as well as sponsors and guests.
