Prince Harry has been dealt yet another blow as another trustee from his beloved African charity, which he quit, has stepped down, according to reports. The Duke of Sussex has been embroiled in a bitter feud with Sentebale's chairwoman, Dr Sophie Chandauka, after he stepped down as its patron.
The prince co-founded Sentebale in honour of his late mother, Princess Diana, in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help young people and children in southern Africa, particularly those living with HIV and Aids. But in March, several trustees - including Mark Dyer, Timothy Boucher, Audrey Kgosidintsi, Kelello Lerotholi and Damian West - left the organisation in a dispute with Ms Chandauka, having requested her resignation. Now, according to the Mail, the charity has been left with just three trustees - the bare minimum - including the chairwoman herself, after a new one quit.
The outlet's Richard Eden claimed that Nerissa Naidu, who was appointed on March 25 - the same day the princes announced their resignation - has stepped down. Sentebale is now left with three trustees in place - Iain Rawlinson, Dr Bhakti Hansoti and Ms Chandauka herself. He claimed the South African entrepreneur declined to comment, but Sentebale acknowledged that it has been "a particularly difficult time to have joined the organisation".
