1️⃣ Prince Harry faced a major charity drama involving the Sentebale charity, which he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. The drama led to his resignation as a patron, along with other trustees, due to a breakdown in relationships and a dispute over leadership and fundraising strategies. The situation also involved allegations of bullying and harassment by Harry against the chairwoman of the board, Dr. Sophie Chandauka.

2️⃣ A major conservation charity (African Parks) linked to Prince Harry has admitted that human rights abuses were committed by its rangers.
African Parks has now lost its mandate to oversee wildlife reserves in Chad after the government accused it of arrogance, serious financial misconduct and failing to protect wildlife.
Over four pages, the ministry alleged grave breaches of contract and financial irregularities, accusing the charity of keeping unaudited accounts and not being transparent over how funds were raised, managed and spent.
Prince Harry became president of the organisation in 2017 before being promoted to the governing board of directors in 2023, assuming greater responsibility for management and strategy.

Legal action against the Home Office
The duke brought legal action against the Home Office over the security arrangements for himself and his family when they are in the UK.
He challenged the February 2020 decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) – which falls under the remit of the Home Office – over his security, after being told he would no longer be given the “same degree” of personal protective security when visiting.
On 15 April, he lost his initial bid to appeal and has now been ordered to pay 90 per cent of the Home Office’s legal costs, with his spokesperson confirming that he now hopes to appeal directly to the Court of Appeal.

Meghan's biggest business venture yet is her lifestyle brand, now renamed As Ever. Last year in March, the duchess soft-launched American Riviera Orchard (ARO) when she landed an Instagram page for it with the same handle, which linked to a website and only had the duchess's logo on it.
But after a series of setbacks regarding its trademark, the duchess announced this week that her new brand will be called As Ever.
