The chairwoman at the centre of an extraordinary row engulfing a charity founded by Prince Harry has described herself as a “whistleblower” fighting misogyny and bullying.

  1. The whole board quit except the chair. The headline is misleading.
    The rest of the board wanted the chair to resign. She refused even going to court to stay as chair. The rest of the board quit in response.
    The disagreement appears to be over how they raise money. I don’t know which side I would agree with as there is a lack of real detail publicly available. But this fallout is far wider than Harry.

  2. It’s already been proven that she lied. There was no injuction from the high court.

  3. I mean, the good news could be, that now there is still much more that could be done in the same places with the same peoples and monies with two princes working together.

    If the Chair is right, she has a hard time just existing. If progress is to be made, focus on what can still be done with such powerful men and two decades of success behind them already.

  4. I understand where Sophie was coming from and trying to do when she was trying to *de colonise* the way of fundraising.

    But getting rid of their old fundraising methods before having new funds or new fundraising methods is folly in this economy.

    With countries cutting their aid budgets, the big blue chip companies are going to fall in line and not want to align with this sort of endeavour.

    If anything, we should be encouraging rich white men to ride their horses in aid for charity especially in this climate, they might as well put that privilege to good use.

    Back in day, Rockefeller, Carnegie and Vanderbilt funded the arts, the betterment of society because of crippling estate and inheritance taxes, bring that model back, I say.
