Prince Harry Branded Biggest Threat to His Own Organization Amid Explosive Resignation Scandal
Prince Harry is facing shocking accusations just days after his sudden resignation from Sentebale, the charitable organization he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006.
In a bombshell revelation, Sophie Chandauka, the chairman of Sentebale, has accused the Duke of Sussex of using the charity to protect Meghan Markle’s public image.
The scandal erupted after Sophie claimed she was pressured by Harry’s PR team to publicly defend Meghan following a widely publicized and awkward moment between Meghan and Sophie at a charity polo match in Miami last year.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Sophie recalled how she rejected Harry’s alleged request. “I said no, we’re not setting a precedent by which we become an extension of the Sussex PR machine,” she stated, shedding light on what she believes was an inappropriate attempt to manipulate the charity’s narrative.
The controversy stems from a 2024 charity polo match, where Harry captained the winning team. According to The Telegraph, tensions flared when Meghan reportedly asked Sophie to switch sides during a post-victory photo. Meghan allegedly wanted to be positioned to Harry’s right, leading Sophie to awkwardly duck under the trophy to switch places.
Footage of the bizarre moment quickly went viral, sparking criticism of the Sussexes. Many saw Meghan’s behavior as controlling, while others viewed the incident as yet another example of the couple’s mismanagement of their public image.
Following the Miami incident, Sentebale found itself at the center of a deeper crisis, with internal disputes over racism, bullying, and poor leadership. The tensions within the organization have reportedly reached a boiling point, with founders, trustees, and Sophie locked in an ongoing power struggle.
The timing of Harry’s resignation has only fueled speculation that he is attempting to distance himself from the escalating turmoil. Critics argue that instead of facing the charity’s challenges head-on, he has chosen to walk away, leaving Sentebale to deal with the fallout.

Sophie’s claims have also reignited debates about Meghan’s influence over Harry’s professional and charitable decisions. Many royal watchers believe this latest controversy mirrors past allegations that Meghan has played a significant role in isolating Harry from long-standing commitments and relationships.
Despite stepping down, Prince Harry has insisted he will remain a supporter of Sentebale’s work. However, his departure has cast a shadow over the organization’s future, with many questioning how it will recover from the current leadership crisis.
For years, Sentebale has been one of Harry’s most cherished projects, dedicated to helping vulnerable children in Lesotho and Botswana. His decision to resign from the very charity he helped build has left many wondering what truly led to his sudden exit.
Meanwhile, royal insiders claim that Buckingham Palace is closely monitoring the situation. While King Charles and Prince William have remained publicly silent, sources suggest they are deeply concerned about the damage these revelations could inflict on Sentebale’s reputation.
As the drama unfolds, one question remains: Has Prince Harry’s decision to walk away from Sentebale put the future of the charity at risk? With allegations of PR manipulation, internal disputes, and growing distrust among trustees, the once-respected organization now faces an uncertain path forward.
This latest scandal only adds to the long list of controversies surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And if the past is any indication, the fallout from this explosive rift is far from over.
