According to Companies House, Iain Rawlinson was appointed as a trustee of the charity on March 25 - the same day it was announced that Prince Harry was stepping down.

He is also listed as a trustee on the Sentebale website, where he is described as an 'experienced Chair, Board Director, Charity Trustee and Strategy Advisor'.

Rawlinson is also a known ally of the Prince of Wales, and served as chair of his Tusk Trust from 2002 to 2013, and chair of the development board until 2021. He is still an active volunteer at the wildlife conservation charity, according to his LinkedIn.

The financier has been advising Chandauka following the rift, telling the Financial Times that certain trustees had attempted to 'destabilise and remove' Sophie from her position as chair.


Would somebody please explain just who appoints or hires trustees?
