The Duke of Sussex is being sued for defamation by the Sentebale charity, according to High Court records. Online court filings show that Harry is a defendant in a libel or slander claim alongside fellow trustee, Mark Dyer.
No documents are currently available in the claim originally filed on March 24. Sentebale was founded by Harry in 2006 to help young people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, but he resigned as a patron in March 2025 after a public falling-out with its chair of the board, Sophie Chandauka.
The Charity Commission subsequently published a report into the episode, criticising all sides for making the fallout public with interviews and statements.
The commission criticised all parties in the dispute for allowing it to play out publicly and described how all trustees contributed to a “missed opportunity” to resolve the issues that led to the serious disagreement, which risked undermining public trust in charities generally.
The regulator, which cannot investigate individual allegations of bullying, found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment, including misogyny or misogynoir at the charity, but acknowledged “the strong perception of ill treatment” felt by some involved.
A source said in August 2025 that Harry had been left emotionally devastated by the events, after 19 years of working with the charity.
