Prince Harry is said to be in a state of emotional devastation after what insiders are calling the collapse of his life’s most meaningful achievement.
The Duke of Sussex, once widely praised for his philanthropic work in Africa, is now reportedly raging behind the scenes over the crisis that has engulfed his beloved charity Sentebale. The charity, which he co founded in 2006 alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, now faces an uncertain future following Harry’s dramatic departure in March.
Royal expert Rebecca English of the Daily Mail revealed that Prince Harry has been spending hours on late night phone calls, venting his anger and frustration about what he views as a betrayal by the organization he once championed.
“Harry, I am told, is utterly devastated,” wrote English. “He has been calling supporters from California late into the night, raging about a hostile takeover of his life’s work.”
The situation has become even more toxic following public accusations from Sentebale’s board chairwoman, Dr Sophie Chandauka, who accused Prince Harry of bullying, harassment, and misogyny. The claims sent shockwaves through royal and charitable circles, further deepening the divide between Harry and the organization he once loved.
While the Charity Commission found no evidence of misconduct and criticized all sides involved in the dispute, the damage appears to be done. One source close to the Duke reportedly told the Daily Mail, “There is no way in hell he would ever work with Sentebale again, or at least not while Sophie Chandauka and her new trustees are in place.”
The betrayal has reportedly taken a massive emotional toll on both Prince Harry and co founder Prince Seeiso. A longtime insider told the publication, “This has been emotionally absolutely devastating for Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso. What has been perpetrated over the last few months is nothing short of a hostile takeover.”
Sentebale, which means “forget me not” in Sesotho, was created to support vulnerable children and young people affected by HIV in Lesotho and Botswana. It had long been one of Prince Harry’s most personal and respected endeavors, seen by many as a genuine passion project rooted in his mother Princess Diana’s legacy of humanitarian work.
For years, Sentebale helped define Harry’s post military identity and played a key role in shaping his public image as a caring royal committed to real world issues. The charity also provided him with a source of pride and purpose as he navigated his life outside of palace walls.

But now, all of that appears to be unraveling. The fallout with the board and the public airing of bitter accusations have not only shocked supporters but also raised questions about the future of the charity itself.
Sources close to the matter claim the internal power struggle began long before Harry’s departure became public. Tensions between the Duke and the new leadership reportedly escalated behind closed doors, culminating in what Harry saw as a coordinated attempt to push him out.
In recent months, key supporters and allies of Harry within the charity were allegedly sidelined or replaced, leading to fears that his original vision for Sentebale was being hijacked.
One insider put it bluntly, saying, “This is not just about a disagreement. This is about control, power, and removing Harry’s influence entirely from something he helped build from the ground up.”
For Prince Harry, whose royal future has already been the subject of controversy and distance from the British monarchy, this latest blow seems to cut especially deep. With so much of his reputation tied to Sentebale’s success, the apparent collapse has hit him on both a personal and professional level.
Supporters of the Duke are now questioning whether there is any path forward or if this bitter chapter has permanently closed the door on his relationship with the organization.
Meanwhile, Prince Seeiso has remained largely silent throughout the ordeal, but insiders suggest he too is deeply pained by the charity’s internal implosion. As for Prince Harry, one thing is clear the wounds from this fallout may take years to heal, if they ever do at all
