‘UNPLEASANT’

Prince Harry Accused of Sending ‘Imperious’ Email to Charity Boss

Sophie Chandauka has emerged as the prince’s most formidable public enemy.

The boss of an African AIDS charity founded by Prince Harry was sent an “imperious” and “unpleasant” message demanding that she make a public statement defending Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle. In the latest twist in the extraordinary saga that has seen Harry forced to resign from Sentebale, which he set up in his mother’s memory in 2006 to help AIDS orphans in Lesotho and Botswana, the Daily Telegraph reports that when Sophie Chandauka declined to issue a statement at the request of Harry’s staff, Harry emailed her personally asking her again to dismiss reports of tension that emerged after an awkward encounter at a charity polo match. She again refused. Harry then asked her to “explain herself,” it is claimed. The Telegraph’s sources described the message as “unpleasant,” and “imperious” and a spokesman for Sentebale confirmed to the newspaper that Harry had sent the message, adding ominously: “There is a document.” Speaking on Sky News this weekend, Chandauka said: “Really, what Prince Harry wanted to do was to eject me from the organization and this went on for months. It went on for months through bullying, harassment. I have documentation.”
