Prince Harry is “heartbroken” to quit his Sentebale charity.
The Duke of Sussex and his co-founder, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, issued a joint statement Wednesday describing their “devastating” decision.
The duo, who created the African organization in 2006, blamed an “untenable situation” between chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka and the board of trustees.
“With heavy hearts, we have resigned for our roles as patrons of the organization until further notice, in support of and solidarity with the board of trustees,” they continued. “It is devastating that the relationship between the charity’s trustees and the chair of the board broke down beyond repair.”
Harry, 40, and Seeiso, 58, clarified, “Although we may no longer be patrons, we will always be its founders, and we will never forget what this charity is capable of achieving when it is in the right care.”
They wrote in a statement about being “in shock.”
“We will never forget what this charity is capable of achieving when it is in the right care,” the duo added.
