Sentebale Sues Prince Harry for Defamation in London High Court

The filing escalates a governance fight into a legal test of claims over reputational harm.

Overview

  • Sentebale filed a civil defamation lawsuit in London against Prince Harry, moving the charity’s long dispute with its co‑founder into court.
  • The action also names Mark Dyer, a former trustee and close friend of the prince, as a defendant.
  • In a public statement, the charity says a negative media campaign hurt its work with young people living with HIV and it is seeking compensation.
  • A spokesperson for Harry and Dyer says they categorically reject the allegations as the case enters its early stages.
  • The Charity Commission closed its review last year with formal reproaches for both sides and found no evidence to support claims of bullying or misogyny.
