Prince Harry has officially stepped down from his long-cherished charity Sentebale, in what insiders are calling one of the most emotionally difficult decisions of his recent years. The Duke of Sussex’s departure comes amid escalating tensions within the organization, which he co-founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to support children affected by HIV and AIDS across southern Africa.
According to multiple reports, the entire board of trustees—Harry included—resigned following a major leadership clash with Sentebale’s chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka. The dispute reportedly reached a critical point after Dr. Chandauka raised serious concerns about internal misconduct, including alleged abuse of power and discriminatory practices within the charity.

The mounting discord triggered a formal probe by the UK’s Charity Commission, which is now investigating Sentebale’s governance structure and internal operations. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told GB News that Harry’s decision reflects his loyalty to those he trusts within the organization.
“This organisation has been close to his heart,” Schofield said. “And resignation appears amid controversy surrounding his wife Meghan Markle and her lifestyle brand, ‘As Ever.’” While Sentebale has been one of Harry’s most prominent philanthropic efforts—particularly during and after his time as a working royal—his departure underscores the severity of the charity’s current internal crisis.
Founded with the goal of providing psychosocial support, education, and health resources to vulnerable youth affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Sentebale had become a cornerstone of Harry’s charitable work and public identity.

The charity now faces an uncertain future as the leadership vacuum and ongoing investigation threaten its reputation and ability to deliver vital services. Donors and partners have reportedly expressed concern over the governance issues, and it remains unclear how the organization will move forward without its high-profile co-founder.
The resignation also marks another significant shift in Prince Harry’s public role since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. Combined with ongoing controversies involving his wife, Meghan Markle, and her new business ventures, the move suggests a broader repositioning of the couple’s philanthropic and public strategy. As the Charity Commission proceeds with its investigation, Sentebale’s mission—and Harry’s legacy within it—hangs in the balance.
