Controversy Surrounds Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Over Sentebale Charity Allegations
Meghan MarkleIn a recent wave of allegations, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves embroiled in a controversy surrounding their past involvement with the Sentebale charity. Dr. Sophie Chandauka, chairwoman of Sentebale, has accused Prince Harry of "bullying" behavior, further claiming that he attempted to coerce her into publicly defending Meghan Markle following an awkward photo-op during a charity event.
The incident occurred at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge in Wellington, Florida, where unexpected attendance by Meghan Markle and a Netflix camera crew reportedly caused logistical chaos. Chandauka described a tense moment captured on video, wherein Markle awkwardly repositioned her during a photo session, leading to media scrutiny over the Duchess's demeanor and the event’s organization.
Chandauka alleges that Prince Harry requested a public statement in favor of Markle after the event, a request she declined, emphasizing the need for the charity to remain independent of the Sussexes' public narrative. She further criticized Harry's response to the media backlash, claiming he authorized damaging news releases without consulting her or the charity's directors.
This debacle coincides with Prince Harry's recent resignation from Sentebale, a charity he co-founded in 2006 in memory of his mother, Princess Diana. Chandauka suggests his departure follows issues of alleged "poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, and misogynoir".
While Chandauka's accusations have been refuted by some of the charity's former trustees, who consider them "completely baseless", the issue has sparked a broader debate on the power dynamics and governance within charitable organizations associated with high-profile public figures.
