Prince Harry has made a heartbreaking decision to step down from Sentebale, the charity he co-founded in honor of his late mother, Princess Diana.
His resignation comes amid a heated dispute within the organization’s leadership, which has led to multiple trustee departures and shocking allegations from the chair of the board.
A Charity Built on a Personal Mission
Founded in 2006 by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, Sentebale has long been dedicated to supporting vulnerable children in southern Africa, particularly those affected by HIV and AIDS.
For nearly two decades, the Duke of Sussex has been deeply involved, using his influence to raise millions through fundraising efforts, including his annual charity polo match.
However, internal turmoil has now forced him to step away.
The Internal Conflict That Led to Harry’s Exit
The tensions within Sentebale escalated when several trustees called for the resignation of board chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka. When their concerns were ignored, they resigned in protest.
In a bombshell statement, Dr. Chandauka alleged serious misconduct within the organization, including “weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, and even misogynoir”—a term referring to discrimination against Black women.
In response to the growing conflict, Harry sided with the trustees and, along with Prince Seeiso, announced his resignation from the charity.
In an emotional statement, he expressed deep sadness over the situation, emphasizing that the charity’s mission should always remain focused on the children it serves.
The Fallout and Mark Dyer’s Departure
Mark Dyer, a close friend and mentor to Prince Harry, has also stepped down from Sentebale amid the controversy.
Dyer, a former officer in the Welsh Guards, has been a guiding figure in Harry’s life since his teenage years, playing a key role in shaping his early charity work.
His exit from Sentebale marks another major loss for the organization.
Meghan’s Latest Ventures and Lifestyle Brand Expansion
While Prince Harry deals with the fallout from Sentebale, Meghan Markle is making waves in the business world.
The Duchess of Sussex recently launched her “ShopMy” page, an online affiliate marketing platform that allows her to earn commission by recommending products.
According to marketing experts, Meghan’s influence could result in significant earnings, potentially outpacing her previous ventures, including her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig.
Additionally, Meghan’s latest Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, continues to showcase her family life and personal brand.
In one of the episodes, she revealed her daughter Lilibet’s favorite toy—a soft doll named Stella Al Fresco.
This small moment of domestic life was shared as part of a baking session with friends on the show.
The Royals’ Mixed Reactions to Harry and Meghan’s Engagement
A newly surfaced account has shed light on how the Royal Family truly felt about Prince Harry and Meghan’s engagement.
While Queen Elizabeth reportedly gave her blessing, Prince Philip and Prince William were more hesitant.
Even some of Harry’s closest friends, including Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip, had their doubts. Inskip, who had known Harry since their Eton days, allegedly warned him against rushing into marriage, a warning that led to a falling-out between the two.
Meghan and Gwyneth Paltrow End the ‘Breakfast War’ Feud
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and actress Gwyneth Paltrow have seemingly put an end to rumors of a feud.
After Paltrow was accused of mocking one of Meghan’s cooking videos, the two women made a surprise joint appearance in an Instagram Q&A.
Laughing off the speculation, Meghan was seen enjoying a slice of pie alongside the Goop founder, signaling that any supposed tension between them had been exaggerated by the media.
A Royal Life in Transition
As Prince Harry navigates this latest chapter, his decision to step away from Sentebale marks a significant shift in his post-royal life.
The controversy surrounding the charity will likely spark further discussions about his long-term commitment to humanitarian efforts.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s growing presence in the business world suggests she is fully embracing her independence from royal traditions.
With ongoing developments in both their personal and professional lives, one thing is certain—the Sussexes continue to be at the center of global attention.
