Prince Harry Reacts to Being Cleared of Wrongdoing Over Charity Drama

by

Prince Harry has decided to speak out following the completion of an official probe concerning a charity he jointly established.

In March, Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho stepped down from their roles as patrons of Sentebale – a charity they established in 2006 to assist African youth affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis, inspired by their late mothers, Princess Diana and Queen ‘Mamohato, respectively. This move came following accusations of mistreatment made by the chairwoman, Dr. Sophie Chandauka.

Following the Charity Commission for England and Wales’ declaration on August 5 that they found no systemic instances of bullying or harassment at Sentebale, nor any excessive involvement by Prince Harry in his role as patron, the Duke of Sussex issued a statement regarding the former thriving charity.

The Commission concluded that there was no indication of wrongdoing on the part of Prince Harry, who is a co-founder and former patron of Sentebale,” a representative for the royal family said to NBC News. “Additionally, the Commission found no proof supporting allegations of widespread bullying, harassment, or misogyny and misogynoir within the charity – claims that have been made by the current chair but were proven false.

The representative went on to say, “Regrettably, the findings of their report are inadequate in numerous aspects, with a significant issue being that the repercussions of the current Chair’s actions do not affect her, but rather the children who depend on Sentebale for assistance.

The spokesperson confirmed that Prince Harry views Sentebale as a deeply personal and life-changing endeavor. As the father of Archie (6) and Lilibet (4), who is married to Meghan Markle, Harry is now exploring additional ways to offer assistance to the community.

 

Guided by the core purpose of Sentebale, which they (Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso) established, the Duke of Sussex is now committed to exploring innovative methods to carry forward their work, aiming to aid children in Lesotho and Botswana.

In response, Chandauka acknowledged the conclusions drawn from the investigation, which highlighted uncertainties in job descriptions and internal guidelines as factors contributing to heightened conflicts that eventually led to the resignation of several trustees and both primary benefactors.

According to her statement in People magazine, ‘I’m grateful to the Charity Commission for their findings, as they align with the governance issues I raised back in February 2025 in private conversations. The situation was challenging, pushing us to prove our strategic focus and operational strength.’

Approximately a year following the High Court’s rejection of further security measures via the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, Prince Harry’s legal battle came to an end on May 2nd as the court chose to dismiss his case.

His promotion arrived approximately seven years following when he lodged a complaint against Meghan Markle, claiming she had bullied two personal assistants and intended to discredit a third employee. A representative for the Sussexes refuted the accusations, stating that the claims were part of a “strategic defamation campaign based on misleading and damaging misinformation” in an interview with The Times.

In 2017, Craker shared with The New York Post that he was positioned at the back of the hearse. At that moment, William glanced up and recognized him. Craker in turn acknowledged him and gave a nod. William seemed to find comfort knowing that Craker was with his mother during her last journey.

This agreement was reached following a lawsuit he filed against them in 2019, accusing their journalists and private investigators of illegally gathering information about the royal family.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but share this thrilling news: The agreement stipulates that the company will pay a significant compensation and offer a sincere, unwavering apology to Harry. Moreover, they are obliged to publicly acknowledge not only the extensive media attention and grave invasion of my beloved hero’s privacy, but also the privacy intrusions into the life of the legendary Diana, Princess of Wales.

She expressed her sense of relief in being in remission and continued her focus on healing, as she shared in a post on X (previously known as Twitter) on January 14th. It’s well understood by those who have faced a cancer diagnosis that it takes time to adapt to a fresh way of life.

She went on to say, “I’m excitedly anticipating a rewarding year coming up.” Or alternatively, “She added that she was eagerly awaiting a promising year ahead.” Both options convey the same sentiment in a natural and easy-to-understand manner.

In a heartfelt manner, the Duchess of Sussex expressed her sorrow over the passing of her cherished rescue beagle, whom she welcomed into her life back in 2015, prior to her union with Prince Harry.

On January 7th, she posted on Instagram, “I’ve shed so many tears I can’t even count – the kind that lead you to step into the shower, hoping the water streaming down your face will miraculously erase them, or make them disappear. But they remain. And it’s alright if they do.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I had the pleasure of joining my little champions, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, for an exceptional outing in honor of the iconic Wimbledon tournament, making memories in June 2025.
