Overview
- Sentebale, which filed the case in March at London’s High Court, names Prince Harry and former trustee Mark Dyer as defendants.
- Board leaders say evidence points to a coordinated negative media campaign since March 25, 2025 that harmed the charity and triggered cyberbullying.
- The charity says it seeks court intervention, protection and redress, though it has not disclosed the specific statements it claims were defamatory.
- A spokesman for the Duke of Sussex rejects the claims as insulting and harmful and questions spending donor funds on litigation instead of programs.
- The dispute follows Harry’s and Prince Seeiso’s exit as patrons in March 2025 after a governance clash; a U.K. regulator later found no systematic bullying but criticized weak leadership and the public escalation.
