Prince Harry is being sued by Sentebale, the African charity he co-founded, in the latest development in a bitter dispute surrounding the organisation.
The charity has filed papers in London’s high court in a defamation case that names the Duke of Sussex and the former Sentebale trustee Mark Dyer as defendants. The move follows a war of words involving Sentebale’s chair after Harry stepped down as patron.
The legal action marks a significant escalation in the fallout between the charity and one of its most prominent founders. Sentebale was established by Prince Harry and others to support work in Africa, and the dispute now surrounding it has become a highly public and contentious one.
According to the source item, the claim was lodged in the high court in London. No further details about the substance of the defamation allegations were included in the report.
The development comes after what has been described as a bitter exchange over the charity and the circumstances surrounding the Duke of Sussex’s resignation as patron. The case adds a legal dimension to a conflict that has already played out in public view.
Prince Harry has not been described in the source as responding to the claim, and no statement from him or from Mark Dyer is included in the report. The article also does not provide details on any hearing date or further court timetable.
Sentebale’s decision to pursue legal action against one of its co-founders is an unusual and notable step, underscoring the depth of the disagreement. With the matter now before the high court, the dispute over the charity appears set to continue in legal form.
