Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry’s wife, and the pair’s charity continue to stir up a furious feud.
As her husband’s bitter charity row drags on, Meghan Markle has made a direct statement about the UK.
Prince Harry is at the centre of a huge storm surrounding Sentable, a charity he founded nearly a decade ago in honour of his late mother Princess Diana. Last week the Duke sensationally resigned from the organisation he’s poured his heart into for years, over a brutal boardroom battle which saw other trustees and his co-founder, Prince Seeiso, quit in unison.
According to a shocking claim made by Harry and Seeiso, Dr. Sophie Chandauka, the chairwoman of the charity’s board, was sued after its trustees asked her to resign. She has since responded with a string of vile allegations, including those who left the organization, who have all vigorously refuted them. Harry has been personally attacked by Chandauka, who even criticized the Sussex brand. Harry’s team has not yet responded directly to the allegations, according to sources close to the Duke.

And now, as one ex charity trustee warns they are concerned for Harry’s ’emotional welfare’ after his ‘heartbreaking’ decision, his wife Meghan has broken her social media silence after Dr Chanduka’s shocking claims over the weekend. Sharing a photograph of a lemon cake, Meghan, who recently released her cooking and lifestyle show on Netflix, wrote: “Our family tradition. Mothering Sunday in the UK.”
The short caption alludes to her time in the UK before the couple quit as working royals in favour of a life in the States. Meghan, mum to Archie and Lilibet, last returned to the UK in September 2022, when she and Harry attended the funeral of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. Prince Harry has made a handful of visits to his own country in the years since their bombshell departure, the last time being in Septembers 2024 for the WellChild awards.
The Duke will struggle to find his purpose as a result of sources close to him saying he is “lonely” in Montecito, California, and that he is “lonely” there as of Friday. They even assert that the Duke has “never spoken to his family in years” and that he is “beginning to look like Meghan’s Spare.” Prince Harry’s friend, who has been identified as one of his friends, told The Sun, “He misses his family terribly, but no one is reaching out to him anymore.” He only wants to have a beer with the men, but only his friends, who are also Meghan’s friends, are his friends.
It comes as Dr Sophie Chandauka has accused Prince Harry of “harassment and bullying at scale” in a bombshell interview with Sky News. She also accused the Duke of having “unleashed the Sussex machine” on her. However, a source with detailed knowledge of Senabale has claimed Dr Chandauka herself has been accused of bullying staff as well as manipulating the minutes of board meetings. According to this source, one report currently under examination by the Charity Commission will include concerns raised over Chandauka’s governance as well as her “manipulation of minutes to endorse her false claims of bullying and misogyny”, The Times reports.
Royal sources have since refuted Dr. Chandauka’s recent accusations about Prince Harry, calling these most recent comments “deflections” and claiming that Harry’s resignations were the “direct result of the chair’s mismanagement.”
