Prince Harry is being sued for defamation by a charity he co-founded, court records show.
Sentebale , which was founded by the British roal in 2006 to help young people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, has lodged a defamation complaint.
Harry had resigned as patron in March 2025 after a falling out with chair of the board Dr Sophie Chadauka.
Former trustee Mark Dyer has also been named in the claim, according to the High court record made public today.
There are no suggestions as to what the lawsuit involves.

The Charity Commission previously investigated Sentebale, which Harry founded alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, after a whistleblower contacted them.
What is the original argument between Prince Harry and Sentebale?

An argument erupted in 2023 when Sentebale’s trustees suggested bringing in a new fundraising strategy in the US.
This led to a serious dispute between the chair of trustees, Dr Chandauka, other trustees, and Prince Harry, one of the charity’s patrons.
The trustees wanted Dr Chandauka to resign over the dispute, but she refused.
The Charity Commission criticised both sides for allowing the dispute to be played out in public, which ‘harmed the charity’s reputation’.
This jeopardised its ‘ability to deliver for the very beneficiaries it was created to serve’.

His version of “ruthlessness” is cutting off…

Prince Edward visited Prince Andrew to bitch him out over royal real estate Entertainment One of the funniest things about the left-behind Windsors is how jealous they are of each other 24-7.

If a royal figure…

Prince William ‘offered condolences’ to a newly un-royaled Prince Andrew last October Entertainment If you only listen to the pro-Prince William royal commentators, you might believe that William is the authoritarian dictator of the left-behind Windsors, barking commands and pronouncements constantly.
