The social media withdrawal comes months after the charity boss accused Harry of "bullying" and the Duke sensationally quit the organisation.

A statement posted online reads: "Unfortunately, we have had to temporarily disable comments on this platform due to the harmful effects of targeted online harassment."
Dr Sophie Chandauka, the charity's chief, pulled a similar move herself, shutting down her social media after she was trolled by the "Sussex Squad" in the wake of the spat.
Harry stormed away from the charity at the end of March, siding with the trustees who said Chandauka's leadership was "untenable".
In turn, she accused the royal of "harassment and bullying at scale", and labelled the Sussex brand "toxic" - allegations Harry's representatives have always denied.
It is understood the trustees strongly disagreed with the decision to appoint Chandauka as chair from the start, and wanted her to step down.
The flash-point appeared to be the move to transfer the charity's fundraising operation to Africa, which caused several key figures to quit the organisation.

Mel B ties the knot.. AGAIN! Spice Girl reveals she's celebrated her marriage to husband Rory McPhee with a spiritual ceremony in Morocco
Mel B has celebrated her second wedding in Morocco with her husband Rory McPhee, marking their marriage with a spiritual ceremony in Marrakech. The couple, who first tied the knot in London last month, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a glimpse of their latest nuptials. She captioned her post: 'We got married!!! Again! A wedding so good we keep the celebration going with our closest and dearest in our fav place at @selmanmarrakech ❤️❤️❤️ we had the time of our lives!!' Scary Spice, 50, walked down the aisle for a third time last month when she tied the knot with hairdresser Rory McPhee, 37, at St Paul's Cathedral. Despite the wild antics of her younger days, the wedding was a rather a low-key affair, with guests said to have headed home at 7pm. After the lavish ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral, including a horse and carriage, she took pals and family to a bar at The Shard skyscraper for a bash which many expected to rage well into the early hours. The wedding party arrived at the reception at 4.30pm, however most of Mel's guests had headed for home by 7pm, with many having already changed into casual clothing following just over two hours of socialising. Among the celebs on the guest list for the star-studded wedding were Mel B's fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton and comedians Alan Carr, Katherine Ryan and Tom Allen. And her beloved Yorkshire Terrier pup Cookie served a very important role at the nuptials as the ring bearer. After the ceremony, guests jumped onto a boozy party bus to take them to the lavish Shangri-La hotel at The Shard. Emma was the only Spice Girl to make an appearance and while Victoria Beckham and Mel C were quick to offer up their apologies - paying tribute to Mel on social media - Geri Halliwell-Horner has remained tight-lipped on the matter amid reports differences between the pair. It was thought the Spice Girls could be set for a reunion at the Moroccan celebrations, with Geri given the chance to extend an olive branch to Mel if she attends the North African ceremony. Morocco hold significance for the girl band after they jetted there for a mini reunion a decade ago to celebrate David Beckham 's 40th birthday. However ironically Mel B was the only member not in attendance as instead, Eva Longoria filled in for Scary - joking 'I'm the new Spice Girl! #LatinaSpice'. Mel B told The Sun of her plans for a second wedding to Rory later this summer and said she'd already splashed out on a gown to wear. 'In one incredible afternoon I found two perfect dresses. One beautiful classic dress by Josephine Scott, a British designer, and one stunning dramatic dress by a US designer, Justin Alexander'. Despite her absence, Posh, 51, also took to Instagram to pay tribute - sharing a sweet black and white throwback of herself and the bride with bandmates Geri, Mel C and Emma Guests including Alan Carr and Leigh Francis were quick to offer their congratulations, while fellow bandmate Geri remained silent. The pair have a tempestuous relationship and at times have struggled to be in the same room without there being animosity. Geri continued to snub Mel B on Sunday after her lavish wedding weekend - while the likes of Heidi Klum, Paloma Faith and Kerry Katona led the stars sending the Spice Girl congratulatory messages following the ceremony. However other Spice Girl Victoria was quick to comment under Mel's post saying: 'Congratulations!!!!! We hope you had an amazing day!!!! X kisses xxxxxxxxc.' Heidi Klum added: 'CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH. WISHING YOU LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE FOREVER.' Paloma Faith then added: 'Congrats my angel you deserve the world.' Alice Evans said: 'You deserve this! I'm so happy for you!'. Alexandra Burke posted simply saying: 'Congrats!' Katie Piper added: 'Congratulations you deserve so much love and happiness Robbie Williams' wife Ayda Field said under the post: 'Congratulations !'. Mel C also shared a sweet snap of Mel B and her new husband as they celebrated their wedding day on Saturday. Sporty Spice was notably absent as her Spice Girl bandmate said 'I do' to her fiancé Rory in London in front of a string of very A-list guests. Mel was unable to attend no doubt due to scheduling conflicts, as she was performing in Sweden, but still wanted to share her excitement and happiness for the pair and took to her Instagram to share a photograph of the newlyweds. Admitting that she was 'gutted' not to be there, she made reference to the fact they would all see each other and meet up in the not too distant future. Posting some sweet words online, she gushed in the caption: 'So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!' Victoria also missed the ceremony but did share a sweet black and white throwback of herself and the bride with bandmates Geri, Mel and Emma to her Instagram. Posh, 51, captioned the snap: 'Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx' Hours earlier, Victoria had also posted another tribute to the couple on Friday with a photograph of herself and Mel looking glamorous together at a recent event. She gushed in a caption: 'Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx' Ahead of the wedding, sources told the Mail that there was no bad blood between Victoria and Mel but was simply a scheduling conflict. They said: 'Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there. She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It's a real shame. 'There is no issue between them, they haven't fallen out. It's just one of those things.' Geri was taken aback after Mel B revealed that they had had an intimate relationship when the band was starting out while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan's Life Stories programme. Geri was said to have been deeply upset by the bombshell revelation in 2019, for which Mel has apparently never apologised.

Elizabeth Hurley poses in a COFFIN after transforming into the mysterious benefactor The Deceased as Channel 4 share first look at cunning new gameshow The Inheritance
Elizabeth Hurley proved that she can still look incredible - even while lying in a coffin - in the trailer for the new Channel 4 gameshow The Inheritance. The model, 60, plays 'The Deceased' in the entertaining trailer, which sees a stately home being plundered of expensive goods. Elizabeth, dressed in a plunging gold sequin dress, says: 'If haven't noticed, darlings, I'm dead, which means my entire estate is up for grabs.' Playing the part of a glamorous benefactor in the show, Elizabeth puts 13 contestants through their paces as they make their bid for her inheritance. However, if they want to get a large share of it, they will need to be cunning to win at her mischievous game. The game is overseen by Robert Rinder, 47, who is The Deceased's Executor and trusted legal counsel. The Deceased understands that people will go to great lengths to win her inheritance, but in her mind, only the most cunning among the contestants deserve to have it. That is why Hurley's character devised 'a series of devilishly difficult assignments' to ensure this happens. These are reported to put the players' diligence, decency and ruthlessness to the test. The game also has a twist - only one player can collect the inheritance from each request. This means that they will have to convince their fellow competitors that they deserve the windfall. Channel 4 said: 'The Inheritance is a camp, cut-throat game of wit, willpower, persuasion and betrayal. 'It's not about who deserves the money, but who can outplay, out-charm and out-scheme the rest to claim it. ' The show has already been likened to the smash hit, The Traitors, which has a similar premise. The BBC show sees players move into Ardoss Castle in the Scottish Highlands where an informed minority (known as the Traitors) must eliminate an uninformed majority (known as the Faithfuls). Elizabeth said: 'It's a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside and she dresses to the nines in every scene.' Rob added: 'This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. 'As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check - more or less - and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased.'

Noel Gallagher hits back at Oasis fans after being booed during the band's London show - after his brother Liam shared sweet on-stage tribute
Noel Gallagher lost his cool during an Oasis gig in London after being booed by sections of the crowd for giving a shoutout to his hometown. The rocker, 58, was mid-set with an acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder when he asked the audience: 'Any Mancunians we got in the house?' Most of the crowd erupted into cheers, but a few punters near the front made their feelings known with a chorus of boos, which didn't go unnoticed. Wearing a black T-shirt and denim jeans, the Britpop icon made it clear he wasn't in the mood to let the moment slide. Staring down the fans, Noel fired back: 'What you f****g booing for? You're only here because of Mancunians. 'You're only here because of Manchester aren't you? You want to be us? What you booing for?' The outburst came before he launched into his next track, which he dedicated to 'all Mancunians' while turning his back on the audience and strumming the opening chords. It's been almost a month since Noel and brother Liam performed together for the first time in 16 years following an epic falling out backstage in Paris which caused Oasis to split. And while it's been feared that a major bust-up between the once warring brothers could put a halt to the live show s, their last few gigs have showed that the pair are still on track for the time being. On Wednesday night, Liam made a sweet onstage gesture to Noel as the band took to the stage at London's Wembley stadium. As they continued their Oasis '25 tour at during their thirds show at Wembley, Liam, 52, left fans in awe as he dedicated a song to his older brother. Ahead of belting out his next track, Liam told the crowd: 'Now I've gotta dedicate this next tune to our kid - Stand By Me', reports The Sun. The emotional moment was captured by a fan who shared a clip to X, with music lovers rushing to the comments to share how it made them feel.

Wish I could be at one of these biblical gigs!!!I love Oasis. xxxx.'' 'I'M GONNA CRY THIS IS THE CUTEST.' The surprisingly touching moment comes after fears for the tour's future after it was revealed that Liam had been spending more time with his dog than Noel on the reunion tour. On July 4 when the tour kicked off and Cardiff's Principality Stadium witnessed the sight of Liam with his arm around Noel after 16 years, it seemed the brothers had achieved their aim to convincing fans the guns had fallen silent. Team Oasis has gone to enormous lengths to maintain an image of warm, fraternal harmony throughout the 41-gig tour by maintaining the 'magic' that Noel and Liam have put their past grievances behind them. The Daily Mail revealed that backstage staff including security at every venue are forced to put stickers over their camera phones to prevent filming the brothers' relationship when they are not public-facing.
