  • Prince Harry is being sued for libel by Sentebale, a charity he co-founded in honour of his late mother, Princess Diana.
  • The lawsuit, lodged at the High Court in London last month, alleged a “co-ordinated adverse media campaign” which caused “operational disruption and reputational harm”.
  • Harry resigned as a patron of Sentebale in March 2025, following a public dispute with the charity's board chair, Sophie Chandauka.
  • Chandauka previously accused Harry of 'bullying and harassment' and briefing the press about his departure before informing the charity's leadership.
  • While the Charity Commission found no evidence of bullying, it criticised the charity's weak governance and the public nature of the internal dispute.
