Prince Harry has spoken up after being cleared of bullying claims linked to Sentebale, the African charity he co-founded.

On August 5, the Charity Commission for England and Wales shared the results of an investigation into the charity. According to People magazine, the commission found no proof of widespread bullying, harassment, or discrimination, including misogyny or misogynoir. It also confirmed that Prince Harry and the charity’s current chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka, did not overstep their roles.

A spokesperson for Prince Harry told Fox News Digital that it was no surprise the commission found no wrongdoing by the Duke of Sussex, who once served as the charity’s patron.

The spokesperson added that while the report cleared Prince Harry, it still fell short in many ways. They said the current chair’s actions caused harm, and unfortunately, the ones who would suffer the most were the children who rely on Sentebale’s help.

The commission did express concern over how the conflict within Sentebale was handled. It said the charity’s leadership failed to resolve the issues privately, which damaged its reputation and weakened public trust in charities overall.

Sentebale responded by saying it accepts the commission’s findings and is ready to follow any advice given. The organization added that while the report found no signs of widespread bullying, it did acknowledge that some people involved felt mistreated, and this may have affected them personally.

The commission also made it clear that it is not responsible for judging internal disputes or personal claims such as bullying or harassment. Because of this, it did not investigate any individual complaints, including those involving Prince Harry.

A source told People magazine that both Prince Harry and co-founder Prince Seeiso do not believe they can return to Sentebale as long as Dr. Chandauka remains in charge.

The source, who is close to former trustees, said the two princes feel devastated, calling the leadership change a “hostile takeover.” They explained that Sentebale had been the life’s work of both founders, who spent nearly two decades building the charity with personal time, effort, and money. It had grown into a major organization helping people in Lesotho and Botswana.

Dr. Chandauka also released a statement, saying she was thankful the commission confirmed the concerns she had raised earlier this year. She admitted the situation was tough but said it helped the charity become stronger and more focused.

She thanked her team and the new board for their dedication through intense media pressure. She also blamed the negative press on those who stepped down earlier in the year, saying their actions revealed the type of behavior taking place behind the scenes. Despite everything, she believes the charity is now better governed and ready for the future.

She ended her statement by recognizing the charity’s founders, Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso, and honoring their late mothers, Princess Diana and Queen Mamohato. She urged supporters to stand by Sentebale as it moves forward with its mission.

But a source close to the former trustees criticized her for using the founders’ names and their mothers in her message. They believed it was done for personal gain.

Prince Harry co-founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso after visiting Lesotho in 2004. The charity was created in memory of their mothers and focuses on helping those affected by poverty and HIV/AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.
