Why 'devastated' Prince Harry has stepped down from his own charity

Prince Seeiso of Lesotho and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex attend a welcome event at Sentebale’s Mamohato Children’s Centre featuring the non-profit’s Let Youth Lead advocates from Botswana, and a celebration of Basatho culture, on October 1, 2024 in Maseru, Lesotho.

Prince Harry has made the difficult decision to step down from a charity he co-founded in 2006. Harry, Duke of Sussex, and his co-founder Prince Seeiso of Lesotho have both announced they will no longer be acting as patrons of Sentebale, an organisation which provides crucial support for children and young people living with HIV/AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.

Neither Harry nor Seeiso wanted to step down, describing themselves as "in shock," but felt they had no choice as there has been controversy around the charity's chair of the board.
