Sentebale Sues Prince Harry for Defamation in UK High Court

The charity says a yearlong media campaign damaged its work.

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.
