A fiery new controversy has erupted around Prince Harry, casting a shadow over his life in Montecito and sending shockwaves through the royal brand. The latest storm centers around his exit from the Sentebale charity, where he served for years, and explosive allegations made by the organization’s chairperson, Dr. Sylvia Chandauka.
Prince Harry recently stepped away from Sentebale “in support of and solidarity with” its board of trustees. The charity, co-founded by the Duke of Sussex, focuses on supporting children and young people affected by HIV and AIDS in Africa. But what seemed like a quiet departure has now turned into a full-blown scandal.

Dr. Chandauka came forward with a scathing statement that accused the organization of harboring a toxic work environment and raised serious concerns about Harry’s conduct. While not naming him directly, her words strongly suggest discontent with his involvement.
“There are people in this world who behave as though they are above the law and mistreat people, and then play the victim card and use the very press they disdain to harm people who have the courage to challenge their conduct,” she stated.
She continued, “Beneath all the victim narrative and fiction that has been syndicated to the press is the story of a woman who dared to blow the whistle about issues of poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, misogynoir — and the cover-up that ensued.”
The Duke, already under scrutiny from the British press and public for his controversial memoir Spare and his departure from royal duties, is reportedly shaken by the backlash. According to an insider who spoke with RadarOnline, “Harry’s brand has taken a real hit; he would not have expected such a fallout.”

The source added, “Now he’s desperately trying to salvage his reputation over fear the row could tarnish future deals and endorsements.”
This latest development marks yet another public relations challenge for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have faced waves of criticism since stepping back from their royal roles. With new allegations of misconduct tied to one of his most personal charitable endeavors, the pressure to restore his image appears more urgent than ever.
