A charity co-founded by Prince Harry in honour of his late mother, Princess Diana, is suing him for libel at the High Court in London, according to a court record published on Friday (10 April).
Harry, the younger son of King Charles, co-founded Sentebale in 2006 to support young people living with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana. He resigned as a patron in March 2025 following a public dispute with the charity’s chair, Sophie Chandauka.
According to records made public on Friday, Sentebale lodged a defamation claim last month at the High Court against Harry and his close friend, Mark Dyer, who was also a trustee of the charity.
No details of the lawsuit have been disclosed. Neither Harry’s spokesperson nor the charity immediately responded to requests for comment.
Prince Seeiso of Lesotho and the charity’s board of trustees also stepped down alongside Prince Harry.
He co-founded the organisation nine years after Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a Paris car crash. Its name means “forget-me-not” in the local language of Lesotho.
The 41-year-old prince described the breakdown in his relationship with Chandauka as devastating, while she reported him and the trustees to Britain’s charity regulator over alleged bullying and harassment.
Following a review, the Charity Commission said it found no evidence of bullying, but identified weaknesses in governance and criticised all parties for allowing an internal dispute to become public.
