It’s official: Prince Harry is out the door as long as Sentebale is concerned. The charity’s chairwoman Sophie Chandauka is already making plans on how to drive the charity forward in the light of its original co-founders’ departure.
However, invoking Princess Diana’s memory as a way to describe the charity’s goal may have ruffled more Harry feathers than is necessary.
What Did Sophie Chandauka Say About Honoring Princess Diana With Sentebale’s Future Goals
Prince Harry, Prince Seeiso and Sentebale’s Zimbabwean-born chairwoman Sophie Chandauka’s clash was one for the books. However, when all is said and done, “devastated” was the one word Harry reportedly used to describe the loss of the charity he co-founded in 2006, alongside Seeiso.
At the time, the Princes revealed that the charity was created to keep their late mother’s loving memories alive, in addition to helping the children living with HIV/AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.
Whilst Harry and Seeiso are no longer on the mission’s board, Chandauka believes it remains essential to honor the true spirit of the charity.
“Despite the recent turbulence, we will always be inspired by the vision of our founders, Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso, who established Sentebale in memory of their precious mothers, Princess Diana and Queen ‘Mamohato,” Chandauka wrote in a statement.
Even though it’s supposed to come across as a hearty homage to the charity’s original spirit, Harry was said to have held it in “poor taste,” seeing that she categorically destroyed his life’s work.

Per a source close to Harry, the Duke would have no performative nonsense linked to his mother’s memory.
“She’s got what she wants, which is control of the charity, but unfortunately the people who suffer most out of all of this… are the children of Lesotho and Botswana,” the source told the Telegraph, adding, “The most devastating thing for Prince Harry in all of this is that his life’s work and all the money he was able to pump into Lesotho and Botswana through his work has gone down in flames.”
We’d truly love to hear your thoughts on this: is Sentebale’s mission destroyed or will its true purpose carry on for generations to come under Chandauka’s guidance?
