He further described the situation as feeling like “a hostile takeover”, adding:

“He is so upset and hurt and wounded about the things that are being said about him.”

As for Harry’s next steps, Alex admitted it remains uncertain:

“I think it’s too early to tell whether he will just walk away now or whether he might try and get it back. The way he feels is as if he has had one of his fingers cut off.”

Charity Chair Accuses Harry of Seeking Support for Meghan

The controversy surrounding Sentebale intensified after claims emerged that Harry requested a public statement in defense of Meghan Markle following an awkward moment at a charity polo event last year.

During the event, Meghan reportedly asked Sophie Chandauka to move out of the way so she could stand next to Harry. This led to Chandauka ducking under the trophy Harry was holding and shifting positions, a moment that was captured on camera and widely discussed in the media.

Speaking to Sky News about the incident, Chandauka explained:

“We would have been really excited had we known ahead of time [Meghan was coming], but we didn’t.”

She added that the unplanned nature of Meghan’s appearance led to a chaotic stage arrangement, which sparked media scrutiny:

“The international press captured this, and there was a lot of talk about the duchess and the choreography on stage and whether she should have been there and her treatment of me.”

Following the backlash, Chandauka revealed that Prince Harry asked her to release a statement defending Meghan, but she declined.

“Not because I didn’t care about the duchess, but because I knew what would happen if I did so, number one. And number two, because we cannot be an extension of the Sussexes.”

The ongoing fallout from this dispute has left Prince Harry feeling deeply hurt and uncertain about his future with the charity he once held so close to his heart.
