Sentebale charity calls for clarity on commission's probe into Prince Harry claims: report
The organization is asking the investigating body to make it clear that its recent report did not specifically look into accusations of racism and misogyny directed at the Duke of Sussex.
Sources close to the duke told Sky News that the charity is 'rehashing unsubstantiated allegations of bullying, misogyny and more' — saying its latest move is not 'just provocative, it's pitiful.'

'We have written to The Charity Commission stating that the onus is on the commission to restate for the record that individual allegations of bullying have not been investigated or addressed in the commission's report,' a source close to the organization told the outlet.
Insiders have also slammed the media coverage surrounding the probe, specifically reports of the 'Spare' author being cleared of bullying — as sources suggest that the stance is misleading, given that the regulator did not examine specific allegations raised by the chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka.

'It's remarkable, just yesterday Ms Chanduaka was applauding the Charity Commission's findings, yet today, after a flurry of unflattering headlines, she's back on the warpath,' a source close to the Invictus Games founder told the outlet.
'Issuing yet another media statement only reinforces the commission's criticism about using the press to air internal disputes.'

'Rehashing unsubstantiated allegations of bullying, misogyny and more, which the commission found no evidence of and dressing them up as veiled threats isn't just provocative, it's pitiful,' they added.
The insider suggested that Chanduaka should 'spell out' her concerns, or 'better yet, redirect her energy toward something truly worthwhile, like raising money for the children Sentebale exists to support.'
The Charity Commission has since spoken out, telling The Post, 'We have issued the charity with an action plan which sets out steps the current trustees need to take to improve governance weaknesses and rectify findings of mismanagement.'
6 On Thursday, the former working royal's reps told The Post that Harry is 'deeply upset' by the entire fiasco.

6 Earlier this week, the probe found no 'overreach' by Harry or Chandauka, however, it criticized both parties for allowing the dispute 'to play out publicly.'

'We now urge all involved to put their differences behind them and allow the charity to focus on its work and beneficiaries,' the statement concluded.
The Post has reached out to reps for Prince Harry ad Sentebale for comment.

The Commission also pointed to poor internal governance at Sentebale and claimed that the pair's 'failure to resolve disputes internally severely impacted the charity's reputation and risked undermining public trust in charities more generally.'
As a result, Harry, 40, issued a response in which he said it wasn't surprising the Commission found no evidence of wrongdoing at Sentebale, which he kick-started in honor of his late mother, Princess Diana.

'The Duke is, of course, deeply upset by this entire ordeal; though he remains absolutely committed to continuing the work he began 19 years ago — that being to support the children of Lesotho and Botswana living with HIV/AIDS and struggling with mental health issues,' his rep said.
Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso both resigned as patrons of Sentebale in March following Chandauka's shocking claims.

Evan Agostini/Invision/AP Advertisement 'I did this publicly for a reason,' he said. 'I want to be honest about my struggles with it with people. I wore it for so long.' Jelly Roll continued, 'I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they're kind of ashamed. They're so ashamed that they go and hide and lose the weight, and then they come back out, and they don't really know how to interact with the world, looking different or feeling different, you know? And they kind of got to find their whole new way.' 'I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I wanted to talk about it… This is constantly what I'm putting in the air because I want to bring people along with me.' He later told Bunnie, 'I wanna be on the cover of 'Men's Health' by March of 2026. That's my new goal. So I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.'
