Background of the Dispute at Sentebale
Prince Harry is reportedly overwhelmed with distress after a fierce internal dispute led to a change in leadership at Sentebale, the HIV charity he founded in honor of his mother. A close confidant shared with The Daily Beast that Harry feels his lifelong efforts have been undermined following a contentious boardroom conflict.
Leadership Changes and Controversy
The controversy escalated when Sophie Chandauka was confirmed as the new chair of the organization after an investigation by the UK Charity Commission. Harry's associate expressed that the prince is deeply upset and feels disgusted by Chandauka’s recent statements, which referenced his mother in a provocative manner.
Impact on the Charity and Statements from Sentebale
Harry believes that under Chandauka’s leadership, the charity—dedicated to aiding vulnerable children affected by HIV over nearly two decades—has suffered setbacks. Sentebale responded by affirming its stability and ongoing mission, emphasizing its intention to assist 78,000 children this year and praising Chandauka as a capable leader.
