Prince Harry and others criticised by charity watchdog over dispute at Sentebale
Briefly

The Charity Commission cleared Prince Harry of wrongdoing at Sentebale but criticized him and others for allowing a boardroom dispute to become public. The commission condemned all parties for a failure to resolve internal disputes, which damaged the charity's reputation. A lack of clarity in role descriptions and internal policies contributed to weaknesses in management. This confusion led to tensions that resulted in mass resignations among trustees.
