Prince Harry Speaks Out After Sentebale Investigation Results Are Released

On August 5, the Charity Commission for England and Wales released its findings and the results are pretty clear: there was no evidence of “widespread or systemic bullying, harassment, misogyny or misogynoir” at Sentebale. They also found no “overreach” by either Dr. Chandauka or Harry. Essentially, the Commission cleared Harry of any wrongdoing.

That said, the report didn’t pull any punches when it came to criticizing how things played out publicly. The Commission noted that poor internal governance and failure to resolve disputes internally hurt the charity’s reputation and risked undermining public trust in nonprofits more broadly. In other words, airing the drama in public wasn’t great for anyone—especially the kids who rely on Sentebale’s programs.

A spokesperson for Harry responded to the findings, emphasizing that while the investigation vindicates him, the real victims are the children who depend on Sentebale.

“Despite all that, their report falls troublingly short in many regards, primarily the fact that the consequences of the current Chair’s actions will not be borne by her — but by the children who rely on Sentebale’s support,” the spokesperson said, per People.

As a reminder, tensions escalated after Dr. Chandauka, who joined the charity in July 2023, was reportedly asked to resign but instead responded with a lawsuit against Sentebale. Sources suggest the conflict had roots in financial strain during her tenure, ultimately leading the entire board of trustees, alongside Harry, to resign in protest.
