Harry Markle, the former head of the charity Cale, co-founded with Prince Ceso of Lutu nearly 20 years ago, has been forced to step down due to his wife’s ambitions and the power dynamics within the Sussex Saga.
The charity, which aimed to support vulnerable children in southern Africa, has become more focused on the Sussex brand than the children themselves.
The story begins in the dusty Plains of Lutu, where Harry found purpose in 2006 when he teamed up with Prince Ceso to launch Cale.
However, tensions have been simmering for months, and Megan Markle, the charity’s chair, has been demanding transparency, accountability, and a refocus on the charity’s mission.
In March 2025, Megan’s financial ties to the Sussexs were exposed, leading to her resignation. Harry stormed out and within 48 hours, the fallout was swift. Cale issued a statement thanking Harry for his years of service while underscoring the charity’s intent to move forward with renewed purpose.
Megan’s need to control and dominate has led to a series of scandals, with some claiming she scripted the entire thing, pushing Harry to frame it as a selfless act. Meanwhile, Sophie Chandor, the chair of Cale, is being hailed as the woman who stood up to the Sussex machine and is being hailed as a hero.
Harry’s loss to Cale has left him with a lost tether to the man he used to be, a supporting actor in The Megan Marle show. He is conflicted between loyalty to his wife and the legacy of the charity, which has torched him. Megan is now spinning the narrative about toxic leadership at Cale, casting herself as the victim.
In conclusion, the Sussex Saga has become a complex and unpredictable tale of power dynamics and the consequences of Megan Markle’s actions.
