Overview
Sentebale filed a defamation claim at London’s High Court on 24 March naming Prince Harry and Mark Dyer as defendants.
The charity said the action responds to "a coordinated adverse media campaign conducted since 25 March 2025" that caused operational disruption and reputational harm.
Sophie Chandauka accused Harry of orchestrating bullying and harassment, and Harry’s spokesperson criticized the Charity Commission’s report while Chandauka welcomed it.
Sentebale, co-founded by Harry and Prince Seeiso in 2006, supports young people living with HIV in Botswana and Lesotho.
The charity said it seeks the court’s intervention, protection and restitution, and that legal costs are met by external funding with no charitable funds used.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources report this story neutrally, relying on court records, statements from the charity and Charity Commission findings while noting that Prince Harry’s representatives did not respond. Language remains factual rather than evaluative, sources are attributed, and the coverage cites regulator conclusions and the charity’s claims without asserting guilt or motives.
