Prince Harry's Resignation From Sentebale: A Closer Look At The Controversy

Prince Harry has been accused of 'playing the victim card' after quitting as patron of his charity.

The 40-year-old royal - who founded Sentebale almost 20 years ago with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to offer support for people in southern African battling HIV and Aids - stepped down from the charity after a row between the trustees and chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka.

In a joint statement, the princes said: 'With heavy hearts, we have resigned from our roles as Patrons of the organisation until further notice, in support of and solidarity with the board of trustees who have had to do the same.

It is devastating that the relationship between the charitys trustees and the chair of the board broke down beyond repair, creating an untenable situation. Whats transpired is unthinkable.

'We are in shock that we have to do this, but we have a continued responsibility to Sentebale s beneficiaries, so we will be sharing all of our concerns with the Charity Commission as to how this came about.
