Prince Harry steps down from charity after ‘unthinkable’ controversy | Royal | News

Prince Harry has stepped down from a charity he founded 19 years ago after an “unthinkable” controversy. The Duke of Sussex and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho co-founded Sentebale, a charity dedicating itself to helping African orphans and tackling poverty and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, in 2006. It was founded in honour of his late mother, Princess Diana. Harry said he was “in shock” and “truly heartbroken” in a joint statement with Prince Seeiso on Tuesday evening. The statement read: “These trustees acted in the best interest of the charity in asking the chair to step down, while keeping the wellbeing of staff in mind. “In turn, she sued the charity to remain in this voluntary position, further underscoring the broken relationship. “We thank all the trustees for their service over the years and are truly heartbroken they’ve had to follow through with this act. “What’s transpired is unthinkable. We are in shock that we have to do this, but we have a continued responsibility to Sentebale’s beneficiaries, so we will be sharing all of …

Meghan Markle has been urged to stay off Instagram after the majority of Brits said they would rather she not make any more posts, according to a new poll. The Duchess of Sussex welcomed the new year with a big bang after she finally launched a new personal Instagram page with the handle @meghan, which she regularly updated during the first week of January. Meghan’s first post, on January 1, was a short video, namely a reel, which showed her running across a beach and writing ‘2025’ in the wet sand. The video is thought to have been filmed by Prince Harry. The next day, Meghan revealed the new trailer for her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, which is set to be released on March 4. Her third post came five days later, on January 7, when she posted a heartbreaking video tribute to her rescue beagle, Guy, who has now passed away.

A royal expert has claimed Meghan Markle believes being “controversial” has “more appeal” as she launches new projects. Since moving to the US, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have worked on several projects, with some coming to an abrupt end. Their Netflix docu-series first raised eyebrows after making bombshell claims about the Royal Family. The couple also signed a multi-million pound deal with Spotify which was swiftly cancelled. And now both Harry and Meghan are working on solo ventures, with Meghan recently announcing a new lifestyle brand. Speaking to The Mirror, royal expert and author Tom Quinn has said that ahead of the couple’s trip to Nigeria this month, Meghan feels as though she has become a “Cinderella figure”, with her and Harry having “more appeal”. “Meghan knows that much of the world still sees the Sussexes as members of the Royal Family despite the fact that they are no longer working royals,” Mr Quinn told said. He went on: “Their tour of Nigeria will be dressed up as a quasi-royal visit – in fact, …

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been warned that they should not make the same mistakes when visiting Nigeria as Prince William and Princess Kate did when they toured the Caribbean back in 2022. The Sussexes have been invited to spend some time in the West African country, where they will be taking part in “cultural activities”, however a royal expert claimed they need to tread carefully when visiting a country with a link to British colonialism. The Prince and Princess of Wales were criticised during their time visiting Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas after poorly timed photos showed them shaking hands with Jamaican children through a wire fence. Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show, ITV’s royal editor Chris Ship said: “If I was in Harry and Meghan’s office and I was planning this tour, I would be looking at what William and Kate did in the Caribbean and not do any of it. “I would try and do it a bit differently. It wasn’t William and Kate’s intention but you don’t want that …

Prince Harry has decided he will attend the next Invictus Games event in London solo, marking a major change as his wife Meghan Markle would once always accompany him on visits. The Duke of Sussex will fly back to the UK for a special commemorative service celebrating ten years since the first Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral. Harry famously made his first public appearance with Meghan as his girlfriend at Invictus 2017 in Toronto, however she has reportedly decided to skip this event over fears of receiving a “hostile reception”. ITV’s royal editor Chris Shop told The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson on the publication’s Royal Exclusive show: “The first one [Invictus event] was in London and then there was one in Florida, and we’ve had Toronto where he first introduced Meghan to the world. “I remember being there as she walked into that court, in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto.

Meghan Markle has once again decided to avoid coming back to the UK, something which a royal commentator believes could be a good thing. Prince Harry has confirmed he will be attending a service at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games, during which he will give a reading. However his wife the Duchess of Sussex will not be with him, instead flying over to meet him in Nigeria later in the month for an official visit there. Meghan has not visited the UK since 2022, and when she was here with Harry for the Platinum Jubilee the pair were booed as they attended the Service of Thanksgiving. The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden told Palace Confidential this week: “She does not want to return to Britain in a hurry. There are many people here who won’t be sad about that. Meghan will be wary of getting booed at St Paul’s.” THIS IS A LIVE BLOG. SCROLL BELOW FOR THE LATEST UPDATES… Source link
