Overview
- High Court records made public Friday show a libel and slander claim filed on March 24 naming the Duke of Sussex and former trustee Mark Dyer.
- In a statement, Sentebale alleges a coordinated adverse media campaign since March 25, 2025 caused reputational harm, operational disruption, and cyber-bullying of its leadership.
- Harry and Dyer deny the allegations through a spokesperson who calls the lawsuit offensive and questions the use of resources, while the charity says external funding covers all legal costs.
- Court filings list the case type but no detailed particulars have been released, leaving the specific statements at issue unknown at this stage.
- The suit follows a public governance breakdown in 2025 with chair Sophie Chandauka and a Charity Commission review that criticized weak oversight but found no evidence of systemic bullying.
