"Prince Harry will step down from the charity he founded nearly 20 years ago after 'unthinkable' controversy from within, it has emerged.

Sentebale, which the Duke of Sussex co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesoth in 2006 to benefit African orphans, dedicates itself to tackling poverty and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.

The royal travelled to Africa last year to support its work and in December proudly attended an event in New York. Harry co-founded Sentebale in memory of his late mother Princess Diana.

But now Harry is said to have quit in solidarity with his co-founder and the entire board of trustees after 'the relationship between the charity's trustees and the chair of the board broke down beyond repair, creating an untenable situation'.

Sophie Chandauka, a Zimbabwe-born lawyer, was appointed to be chair of the board of trustees last year.

It's reported the trustees were deeply unhappy with the decision and wanted her to step down, prompting her to sue.

The row seemingly stemmed from a decision to move its fundraising operation to Africa and several key figures then walked away from the organisation."
