Prince Harry stepped down from Sentebale earlier this year following a boardroom row.
Prince Harry has hit back in the bullying row with Sentebale as he plots to launch a major rival charity. Harry, 40, co-founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 in honour of their late mothers, but the royal was forced to step away earlier this year following a bitter row wth Sentebale’s chairwoman, Sophie Chandauka.
The row included various “claims and counter-claims of racism, bullying and mismanagement”. The Duke of Sussex is reportedly now planning to set up a boardroom rival for the charity, it has been revealed. Sources have revealed that the royal is determined to continue the work that he started with the charity.
As reported by the Mail on Sunday, an insider has said: “‘The Duke [of Sussex] is anxious that the fight against poverty and Aids in Lesotho and Botswana carries on.
“He and Prince Seeiso are keen to work together on a new venture. They are talking about setting up a new charity or clubbing together to support other existing charities doing similar work in the region.”
Last week, a Charity Commission probe found “no evidence” to support Dr Sophie Chandauka’s allegations of bullying, harassment, misogyny and misogynoir – discrimination against black women.
Following last week’s findings, Harry broke his silence by accusing the Charity Commission of “sitting on the fence” after it published a report that “criticised all parties” at his charity for weaknesses that “risked undermining public trust in charities more generally”.
