In March 2025, Dr. Sophie Chandulora, the chair of Cintabel, a charity founded by Prince Harry and Prince Cizo of Lutu to honor their late mothers and aid young people affected by his aids in southern Africa, accused Prince Harry of unleashing harassment and bullying at scale against her and the organization’s staff.
The scandal began subtly in the shadow of Centbel’s noble mission, but by early 2025, whispers of discord between the chair and the board of trustees had begun to leak.
Prince Harry and Prince Cizo issued a joint statement to Britain’s press association, describing an untenable situation where the relationship between the charity’s trustees and its chair had broken down beyond repair.
Dr. Chandulora saw this as a calculated strike to undermine her authority and silence her growing concerns about the charity’s governance.
As the interview unfolded, Dr. Chandulora peeled back the layers of her allegations, revealing a pattern of behavior that she claimed had plagued Cintabel for months.
She described Harry’s attempt to eject her from the organization as a relentless pressure campaign that included the unleashing of the Sussex PR machine with her lawyers at her side.
The fallout from the polo match was just one piece of a larger puzzle. Dr. Chandulora accused Harry of jeopardizing Centabel’s financial stability by prioritizing his Netflix deal over the charity’s needs.
She pointed to a planned fundraiser at a Miami polo ground where a generous donor had offered the venue at a steep discount. When the owner bulked at the commercialization, new terms were drawn up that the charity couldn’t afford, leading to the loss of the venue.
Dr. Chandulora argued that Harry’s toxic brand liability had driven away corporate sponsors and major donors since his departure from the UK in 2020.
