Prince Harry Resigns from African Charity He Co-Founded
On Thursday, the Independent reported that the head of an African charity founded by Prince Harry criticized him for "playing the victim" after he resigned from his role as a patron of the foundation amid a dispute within the board of trustees.
Prince Harry co-founded the organization Sentebale two decades ago with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to support children in Southern Africa, particularly those affected by HIV and AIDS.
Dr. Sophie Chandauka responded to the Duke, stating that she had been targeted for "exposing" alleged "abuse of power, bullying, harassment, and misogyny" within the charity.
Several trustees resigned alongside Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso after demanding Dr. Chandauka's resignation.
Dr. Chandauka was appointed chair of the organization last year. Reports indicate that trustees were dissatisfied with her appointment and called for her resignation, prompting her to take legal action. According to The Times, the dispute centered around the decision to focus fundraising efforts within Africa.
The chair also claimed that she had reported the trustees to the Charity Commission and that the High Court had issued an emergency injunction preventing her dismissal.
A spokesperson for the Charity Commission for England and Wales stated: "We can confirm that we are aware of concerns regarding the governance of Sentebale. We are assessing the issues to determine appropriate regulatory steps."
The Independent learned that the Charity Commission has not yet issued any findings regarding these allegations.
In a joint statement, the Duke and Prince Seeiso expressed support for the departing trustees, announcing their resignation as patrons until further notice.
They stated: "Nearly 20 years ago, we founded Sentebale in honor of our mothers. Sentebale means 'Forget me not' in Sesotho, the local language of Lesotho, and this is the promise we have always made to the young people we have served through this charity."

Korean Cultural Center Launches Traditional Korean Folk Painting Workshop
Nada Mustafa The Korean Cultural Center in Egypt inaugurated its Traditional Korean Folk Painting Workshop (Minhwa) today at its premises in Dokki. Running from August 3 to 5, the workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant and symbolic world of minhwa, an integral part of Korea's artistic heritage. Organized by the Korean Cultural Center and curated by the King Sejong Institute Foundation, the workshop is part of the Sejong Culture Academy — a flagship cultural initiative that dispatches Korean culture experts worldwide to deliver immersive programs and foster global appreciation of Korean traditions. Led by distinguished Korean artists, the workshop provides hands-on training in traditional painting techniques, materials, and motifs. Participants will also gain deeper insight into the historical, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of minhwa, making the experience both creatively enriching and educational. The program is designed for students of the Sejong Institute at the Korean Cultural Center in Egypt, as well as local enthusiasts of Korean culture and art. 'Through this workshop, we aim to share a living aspect of Korean heritage and inspire Egyptian artists to connect with it,' said Mr. Oh Sung-ho, Director of the Korean Cultural Center. 'We hope this initiative strengthens cultural ties and promotes artistic dialogue between Korea and Egypt.' Minhwa paintings are renowned for their expressive style and rich symbolism, often depicting themes such as prosperity, longevity, and harmony. Popular motifs include the 'Four Gracious Plants' — plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo — representing the seasons and virtues in Korean philosophy, as well as everyday scenes, landscapes, and folkloric subjects. Known for their vivid colors and intricate detail, minhwa paintings embody both tradition and personal expression, continuing to resonate with contemporary audiences. This workshop is part of the Center's broader mission to promote cultural exchange and deepen mutual understanding between the peoples of Korea and Egypt through the arts. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
