My heart hurts for Poor Prince Harry. News broke late last night that Harry has stepped down from his role as co-founding patron of Sentebale, the charity he set up in memory of his mother. This close to Mother’s Day, it must be an excruciating blow.
Sentebale was founded to help children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana, including those living with HIV and Aids, causes that were famously dear to Princess Diana’s heart. Harry set it up in 2006, when he was just 22 years old. Today it’s all gone up in flames, with current chair Sophie Chandauka hitting back with an excoriating statement aimed at the board, all of whose members resigned after Chandauka refused to step down .
