Prince Harry has been called out for putting his financial gains ahead of social gains, according to an expert.
The Duke of Sussex, who has exited from Sentebale, an organisation which deals with the welfare of African kids, has been accused of giving up his rigour for charity for the sake of money
Expert Russell Myers writes for Mirror: “In a week of extraordinary broadsides, the allegation that Prince Harry put his own commercial interests before that of a charity working with Africa’s most desperate children could be the most damaging.”
“The war of words exchanged in recent days between those connected to Sentebale, the organisation that Duke of Sussex co-founded in memory of his late mother, has been nothing short of deeply unsettling for all involved. The charity stands paralysed between two factions claiming the moral high ground while somewhere in among the infighting must be the truth.”
He adds: “The Charity Commission in the UK while investigating to determine if any mismanagement or worse has been committed, is unlikely to want to untangle the mess between Sophie Chandauka, the under fire chair, and Prince Harry and his co-founder Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. “
The expert continues: “Dr Chandauka, a Zimbabwean Oxford educated lawyer, has already accused Harry of “harassment and bullying at scale” as well as being responsible for sponsors shying away from Sentebale because of his “toxic” brand since leaving the royal family.”
“Which begs the question….what is Prince’s Harry’s purpose in his new found royal freedom? Both he and Meghan argued when leaving The Firm in 2020 that “service is universal”, quite different from the seemingly self service attitude he is alleged to have displayed here.
“Is Harry now more bothered about serving his paymasters at the corporation he is working, and does that leave any scope to use his profile for common good?” he noted.
