According to Dr. Chandauka, Chair of the charity Sentable, her conflict with Prince Harry originated in April 2024—and involved Meghan.
In footage of the incident, Meghan, stone-faced, signaled for Chandauka to stand beside her rather than next to Harry. Chandauka was then forced to awkwardly duck under the trophy to reposition herself on Meghan’s side. Once she got her way, Meghan immediately flashed a smile as if nothing had happened, resuming her poised demeanor for the group photos.
The incident sparked global backlash against Meghan, with many interpreting the video as evidence of her possessive and controlling behavior toward Harry.
“She seems deeply insecure about her husband. That’s why she clings to Harry and won’t allow any woman near him,” one critic remarked.
“Meghan’s controlling nature is on full display for the world to see. So embarrassing,” another added.

Harry’s Team Pressured Chandauka to Defend Meghan – But She Refused
Prince Harry’s staff reportedly urged Dr. Chandauka, Chair of Sentebale, to publicly support Meghan following the controversial polo incident. However, she declined, unwilling to let the charity become a “tool” for the Sussexes’ personal agenda.
The situation escalated when Harry personally messaged Chandauka, demanding an explanation for her refusal. An insider told The Telegraph that the charity chief was “stunned” by the Prince’s “aggressive-toned” text. Sources claim Meghan’s influence was the key factor behind this clash, ultimately leading to Harry’s abrupt departure from Sentebale last week.
Proof Exists – But Remains Under Wraps
A Sentebale spokesperson confirmed the dispute and acknowledged evidence exists, though they are not yet authorized to disclose details publicly.

In addition, Dr. Sophie Chandauka stated that last year’s fundraising event was fraught with issues. Meghan Markle reportedly changed the venue at the last minute and brought her friend Serena Williams to the event without prior notice.
Chandauka accused the Sussex brand of being “toxic” and alleged that Prince Harry engaged in “harassment and bullying.” She claimed, “Harry wanted me out of the organization. This went on for months. I have evidence.”
Meanwhile, Prince Harry expressed shock and sadness over his departure from Sentebale, the charity he co-founded with Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso to support youth affected by HIV/AIDS. He stated, “We were very shocked to have to do this, but we have a responsibility to Sentebale’s beneficiaries.”
Sentebale, meaning “Forget me not” in English, was established by Harry in memory of his mother, Princess Diana, who was deeply involved in charitable work in Africa and had a fondness for Forget-me-not flowers.
