This isn't the first time
Prince Harry experienced challenges with one of his charities, as the Duke of Sussex stepped down from Sentebale amid growing tensions with chairwoman
Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
"With heavy hearts, we have resigned from our roles as patrons of the organization until further notice, in support of and solidarity with the board of trustees who have had to do the same," Harry and his cofounder,
Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, said in a statement. "It is devastating that the relationship between the charity's trustees and the chair of the board broke down beyond repair, creating an untenable situation."
