Accusations of Racism and Bullying
Dr Sophie Chandauka, the chair of Sentebale, has been accused of "playing the race card" after alleging racism and bullying following Prince Harry and other trustees quitting the charity.
Social Media Backlash
Dr Chandauka faced online harassment and racial abuse, leading her to shut down her social media accounts after being targeted by supporters of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Financial Troubles and Charity Dispute
The dispute between Dr Chandauka and the trustees reportedly stemmed from financial mismanagement and disagreements over fundraising efforts, particularly the annual Sentebale polo cup.
Charity Commission Investigation
The Charity Commission is investigating claims of financial mismanagement, including spending £500,000 on consultants to attract wealthy US donors, a move that was unsuccessful despite receiving funds from Prince Harry's book proceeds.
Support for Prince Harry
Despite the controversy, a friend of Prince Harry defended him, expressing his dismay that the charity he founded as a teenager was facing internal turmoil and financial difficulties.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle shared a video of herself dancing while making jam, offering a lighthearted moment amid the ongoing challenges faced by the charity.
