Prince Harry is calling out the "blatant lies" he claims have been told against him when it comes to his beloved charity Sentebale. Last week, the Duke of Sussex, along with co-founder Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, made the dramatic decision to step down from the charity they created in 2006 following allegations of misconduct within the organization. Sentebale's chairwoman Sophie Chandauka went on to clap back against the princes' statement—and go on Sky News to speak out against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, citing "bullying and harassment at scale." But on Thursday, April 3, Prince Harry broke his silence on the matter, releasing a new statement that touched on the "heartbreaking" series of events.
"From the inception of Sentebale nearly 20 years ago, Prince Seeiso and I have had a clear goal: to support the children and young people in Southern Africa in memory of our mothers," Prince Harry said. "What has transpired over the last week has been heartbreaking to witness, especially when such blatant lies hurt those who have invested decades in this shared goal."
