Prince Harry's Africa-based charity lays off London staff amid 'funding crisis' sparked by bitter row with chairman
Prince Harry's Africa-based charity has made all but one of its London staff redundant as it battles a funding crisis sparked by a bitter breakdown with its former chairman. Sentebale lost donations after a highly-publicised feud between the Duke of Sussex, 40, and Sophie Chandauka, 47. The row resulted in accusations of racism and misogyny, the mass resignation of Sentebale's board and a damning report by the charities watchdog. Harry co-founded Sentebale in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to tackle HIV/AIDS and poverty in memory of his late mother, Princess Diana. But in a worrying turn of events, Sentebale has been forced to lay off four of its five London staff. The redundancy round, which started in spring, resulted in at least two dozen staff leaving Sentebale and its affiliated programmes. Employees dismissed include Sentebale's global head of finance and compliance, on top of other redundancies in its African teams. A redundancy letter from April seen by The Times reveals Sentebale telling staff it 'does not have' donor funding, adding that the charity is in 'retrenchment'. 'The main thing we're all waiting for are the accounts,' a source told The Times. 'There have been a lot of redundancies, there's been people who have been let go, a lot of churn and people have left.' Problems began earlier this year when Sentebale's board challenged Ms Chandauka over a £400,000 bill for consultants, which they claimed had brought little return. As the row deepened, Chandauka was asked to step down, but instead complained to the Charity Commission, alleging bullying, misogyny and racism. In March, all of Sentebale's trustees resigned en masse blaming Ms Chandauka's 'almost dictatorial' style, with Harry and Prince Seeiso quitting as patrons. Last week the Charity Commission condemned both parties for allowing the spat 'to play out publicly'. A report into Sentebale said it had 'severely impacted the charity's reputation and risked undermining public trust in charities more generally'. However, the commission found no evidence of a culture of bullying, harassment or misogyny at Sentebale. Sentebale argued its move to reduce its workforce by around 27 people was 'deliberate and responsible', given uncertainty over funding. A spokesman for Duke of Sussex decline to comment.

5 Popular Stocks Still Worth Buying
When it comes to the stock market, the fastest growth usually comes from small companies, as they have room to run. It's a lot easier for a company worth $5 million to double in value than it is for one worth $1 trillion, for example. Check Out: Read Next: But just because a company is worth a certain dollar amount doesn't mean it's necessarily a good or a bad investment. Many well-known companies, for example, are up a lot in 2025 but are still highly recommended by analysts. Other popular companies have lagged the performance of the overall market in 2025 but still represent good buying opportunities. Here's a look at some big-time companies on both ends of the spectrum that might still be worth buying. Apple (AAPL) Price as of August 7, 2025: $220.03 YTD performance: -11.92% 12-month analyst price target: $233.11 Apple has been a market darling for years, but for the first half of 2025, the bloom came off the rose a bit. A combination of factors have created uncertainty for the company, which never translates to good results for a stock. Concerns over China, tariffs, sluggish artificial intelligence (AI) development and an overall unimpressive new product roster have weighed on the company. However, on July 31, Apple posted its biggest revenue growth since December 2021, putting the company back in the sights of analysts and investors alike, according to CNBC. For You: Amazon (AMZN) Price as of August 7, 2025: $223.13 YTD performance: 1.70% 12-month analyst price target: $261.03 The press has focused more on Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's extravagant Italian wedding than his company in 2025, but that may actually be creating an opportunity in the stock. As the largest online retailer in the world, Amazon benefits across multiple verticals as long as the economy remains strong. While, according to Forbes, concern over a potential recession and the effect of tariffs has held the stock back this year, discretionary spending has proven surprisingly resilient. Although the company might go through cycles, it's a long-term winner. Meta Platforms (META) Price as of August 7, 2025: $761.83 YTD performance: 30.33% 12-month analyst price target: $858.63 Meta Platforms has been on an absolute tear since Nov. 2022. After losing an incredible 64% that year, according to StatMuse, the stock has absolutely soared, gaining 188% in 2023, 67% in 2024 and over 27% YTD thus far in 2025. While those types of gains may scare off some investors, they're an indication of immense momentum and investors can't get enough. The company has been firing on all cylinders, tightening up cost controls, generating new and growing sources of revenue and focusing on AI, the buzzword of the 2020s. Analysts see continued success ahead for the company. Nvidia (NVDA) Price as of August 7, 2025: $180.77 YTD performance: 34.63% 12-month analyst price target: $183.38 Nvidia has been on a multi-decade run, making it one of the best performers in the whole stock market over the past 3-, 5-, 10- and 15-year periods. But analysts think there's no reason to get out now. In fact, some see the AI boom as throwing fuel on Nvidia's engines for years and years to come. The stock is notoriously volatile and got knocked down violently to the mid-90s in the April market selloff, losing more than one-third of its value. But since then, the stock has essentially doubled, showing the appetite investors have for this tech darling. *Victoria's Secret & Co. (VSCO) Price as of August 7, 2025: $21.63 YTD performance: -47.59% 12-month analyst price target: $21.60 Victoria's Secret gets an asterisk because while it is certainly a well-known company that hasn't performed well in 2025, it's also a much riskier option. Retail in general can be a tricky investment and specialty retail often goes through boom and bust cycles, the worst of which can send a company into bankruptcy. Analysts are decidedly tepid on the company's prospects for the next 12 months, but if you're a more aggressive investor, this is definitely a high-risk, high-reward type of stock. Caveats You should never buy any stock that doesn't match your investment objectives and risk tolerance. You should also never buy at stock based on a tip from a friend or a random article on the internet. Do your own research to find out what's really going on with a company's financials and future prospects and make your own decisions, perhaps in consultation with a financial advisor. Remember, even though the stocks on this list are by-and-large long-term winners, many now trade at lofty valuations and have appreciated sharply since the market's April lows. Invest for the long-term so you can recover from any short-term selloffs. Editor's note: Stock information was sourced from Yahoo! Finance and is current as of August 7, 2025.

INTC: Intel Jumps on Reports of White House Investment in Ohio Factory
Aug 15 - Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) jumped more than 5% on Friday after reports suggested the Trump administration is in talks to take a stake in the company. The potential investment would support Intel's plan to build a massive semiconductor hub in Ohio, a project long touted as key to maintaining US leadership in high-end chip production. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 10 Warning Signs with INTC. Details of the stake and pricing remain under discussion, and Intel has not confirmed any deal. White House spokesman Kush Desai cautioned that talks remain hypothetical, while a company spokesperson highlighted Intel's commitment to supporting US technology and manufacturing initiatives. Tech analysts suggest such a move could offer Intel financial backing and strategic influence, helping the company catch up to rivals like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD). Intel's market value has dropped to roughly $104 billion since 2020, underscoring the urgency for government support. Observers in the industry say the Ohio plant may end up being the largest ever chip manufacturing plant globally but progress is hampered by delays. According to analysts, such as David Nicholson and Austin Lyons, the strategic use of US manufactured semi-conductors entails high demands with Intel being in a leading position to gain competence in the international market.
