Sentebale, the charity co-founded by Prince Harry (Duke of Sussex) in 2006 to aid youth affected by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, has filed a defamation lawsuit against him and Mark Dyer, a former trustee. The lawsuit follows Prince Harry's resignation as patron in March 2025 after a fallout with Sophie Chandauka, the charity's board chairman. Chandauka had previously accused the board of harassment and misogyny, which led to the Prince's departure. Although the Charity Commission investigated these claims, it found no substantial evidence of bullying or harassment. However, it determined that the public dispute harmed Sentebale's reputation and that all involved parties contributed to the situation. The details of the defamation claim remain undisclosed.
