Overview
- Royal Foundation annual accounts show that in 2025 Prince Harry’s £5,432 share of proceeds from the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund was donated to Elephants Without Borders rather than Sentebale.
- Elephants Without Borders says it used the payment to fit satellite‑tracking collars to two elephants in the Okavango Delta and named them Archie and Lili after the Sussexes’ children.
- Sentebale received £43,866 from the Diana fund between 2020 and 2024, with the last payment of £16,743 in 2024, and Harry had previously given larger one‑off donations to the charity.
- Sentebale filed a High Court claim in March 2025 alleging an orchestrated adverse media campaign that harmed its work; Harry has denied the allegations and the dispute remains in court.
- The Charity Commission criticised the parties for playing the dispute out publicly but found no evidence of systemic bullying, and the shift in funding has sharpened scrutiny of how the closed Diana fund is governed and how such rows affect beneficiary charities.
