A statement posted online reads: "Unfortunately, we have had to temporarily disable comments on this platform due to the harmful effects of targeted online harassment."
Harry stormed away from the charity at the end of March, siding with the trustees who said Chandauka's leadership was "untenable".
In turn, she accused the royal of "harassment and bullying at scale", and labelled the Sussex brand "toxic" - allegations Harry's representatives have always denied.
It is understood the trustees strongly disagreed with the decision to appoint Chandauka as chair from the start, and wanted her to step down.

I couldn't afford a new patio, so used a 10p hack to transform it with flowers – it's so colourful & stops weeds growing
A new patio in the UK typically costs between £80-£150 per square meter, but it depends on the materials and layout. So a typical homeowner could end up paying a few hundred, to thousands to get a new one. Amy on Facebook didn't have that kind of money to sort her patio out. 2 Amy's patio slabs after sowing flower seeds Credit: FACEBOOK Instead, she came up with a genius idea to Posting in the Facebook group Garden Makeover Ideas On A Budget, she said: "On a very tight budget, I couldn't stretch to funding a new patio. "So, last year, I bought some ground covering seeds and planted them between some of my wonky pavers. READ MORE GARDENING STORIES "I'm thrilled with how they now look but, the amount of bees that have been collecting the nectar from them is incredible. I'm so pleased." She added a photograph of the results, showing her wonky As for what flowers she sowed, replying to a comment, Amy said: "Mixed ground cover," and said it "will bring new life to your garden/patio". She "added a little sand to the compost" which she was advised to do so by her local garden centre because "the sand stabilises the wonky pavers". Most read in Fabulous Her post has received 11,000 likes so far and hundreds of comments. One replied: "I absolutely love this idea! I have a horrible concrete area that I cover with benches and pots! Also have an old paved area all sunken forever taking out the weeds in between! Thank you for the great idea x." Can you find the hidden bee amongst the flowers in this tricky brainteaser- Someone else wrote: "I think that looks lovely & far nicer than a new boring patio, it looks how nature would have intended it to look with plants tumbling out if cracks & crevices." One comment read: "It looks so pretty! Love your solution and how nice that it's attracted pollinators too." Another said they make a great replacement for Someone else was keen to know if any Amy replied: " I have had a couple yes, but by and large, the flowers are winning the 'cosy' and limited space ." 2 Close up of wood sorrel growing tenaciously in concrete cracks. Symbolic of resilience and beauty Credit: Getty How to grow flowers between your patio slabs 1. Clean the area Remove any weeds or debris from the cracks between your patio slabs. A weeding tool or a stiff brush can help with this. Make sure the holes are at least six inches deep to help roots develop. 2 . Fill with soil and compost Use a mix of soil and compost to fill the cracks. 3. Choose your plants Opt for low-growing, spreading plants that can tolerate foot traffic. Some good choices are: thyme, chamomile, creeping speedwell, dwarf mondo grass, daisies. 4. Plant If using seeds, mix them with a little compost and sand and push them into the cracks. For plug plants, carefully remove and gently plant them into the cracks. Fill any surrounding gaps with compost. 5. Water Water the seeds thoroughly and continue to water regularly, especially during dry spells, until the plants are established. June gardening jobs The Sun's Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the tasks you should take this month. Stake out leggy perennials With all the dramatic weather we've been having, it's definitely time to stake out your leggy perennials (the ones that come back every year). Heavy rain and growth spurts, can make them collapse and flop. Picking out the slugs and snails Hopefully as we move into summer they will do less damage as the plants get bigger. The best way is still to go out at night with a head torch to find them. Pick elderflower heads You can use them to make your own cordial, or add to cakes, champagne or even fry them in batter. Get on top of weeds It's around now that weeds really ramp up in the garden, so keep on top of them with hoe-ing - or just the traditional 'on your knees with a hand fork'. Try and avoid chemicals - remember weeds are just plants in the wrong place. Up the mowing You'll need to mow your lawn weekly now - if you've got time, weed it beforehand as once you mow you chop off the leaves and its harder to see them. Check on your tomatoes Your tomato plants will need attention - water, feed and regularly and pinch out the sideshoots. Chelsea Chop There's still time for the Chelsea Chop - plants like Rudbeckia's, Asters, Penstemons, Sedums and other perennials can be cut back by a third to help them get a bit more bushy, and prolong the flowering period. Sort out your tulips If you can be bothered and have space - lift and story your tulip bulbs to ensure colour next Spring. Deadheading your roses Take them down to the first set of healthy leaves - which will ensure more flowers for longer. Enjoy your space Take some time to sit and enjoy your garden or outside space - it's great for your mental health. Even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference.
