Prince Harry’s shock resignation from his Sentebale charity has reignited interest in an awkward moment involving him, his wife Meghan Markle, and the organization’s chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka. The dispute began when a photo of the trio was taken at a 2024 polo tournament, where Chaduka directed herself to stand next to Meghan instead of Prince Harry.
Chandauka claims her dispute with Harry started after he asked her to publicly defend Meghan Markle following the incident, but she refused. She said no to setting a precedent for the Sussex PR machine, sparking tensions between them. The two exchanged messages, with Harry allegedly demanding that Chandauka “explain herself” in an unpleasant and imperious tone.
The dispute escalated further when Prince Harry stepped down as a patron of Sentebale, citing governance concerns and financial struggles under Chandauka’s leadership. The charity’s trustees had asked her to resign after she lodged a lawsuit against the organization, which is now being investigated by the Charity Commission in the UK.
A source close to the situation says that the dispute is rooted in governance concerns, not personal grievances. However, Chandauka claims she experienced “harassment and bullying at scale” following Prince Harry’s departure from Sentebale.
