Prince Harry has received a fresh wave of support from the former Trustees of Sentebale.
The Duke of Sussex resigned from the charity earlier this year after a feud broke out between the trustees and Sentebale chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka.
On Tuesday evening, the Charity Commission concluded its compliance case into Sentebale with a Regulatory Action Plan to address governance weaknesses.

The report found there was confusion over roles, especially around powers delegated to the chair, and lacked proper internal complaints policies with no clear processes to resolve disputes.

The Commission did not find evidence of widespread bullying, harassment, misogyny, or misconduct by Prince Harry or by any other trustees but did acknowledge that several people involved felt they had been mistreated, and that those feelings should not be dismissed.
Following the conclusion of the case, the former trustees have issued a joint statement.
They said: "We are disheartened by the way in which the Charity Commission has chosen to ignore key concerns and irrefutable evidence raised with them regarding the leadership and oversight of Sentebale's Chair.
"We accept there is always room to strengthen governance of an organisation, which is why we welcomed a governance review by the Chair initiated in February 2024, and that should have only taken a matter of months - we unfortunately never saw a report or any outcomes enacted, more than two years into her tenure.

"We remain gravely concerned for the future of the charity and the wellbeing of the communities we served for 19 years, following the mission set out by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso in honour of their mothers."
Prince Harry is said to be "absolutely devastated" by the public row at Sentebale, the charity he co-founded nearly two decades ago.
The Duke of Sussex announced his decision to walk away from his African youth charity following a damning report into an explosive public row.

A spokesperson for Prince Harry said: "With the original mission of Sentebale firmly in mind - and in honour of the legacy he and Prince Seeiso [of Lesotho] began - The Duke of Sussex will now focus on finding new ways to continue supporting the children of Lesotho and Botswana."
Dr Sophie Chandauka said regarding the public row following the Commission's reports: "The unexpected adverse media campaign that was launched by those who resigned on 24 March 2025 has caused incalculable damage and offers a glimpse of the unacceptable behaviours displayed in private.
"We are emerging not just grateful to have survived, but stronger: more focused, better governed, boldly ambitious and with our dignity intact."
She added: "Despite the recent turbulence, we will always be inspired by the vision of our Founders, Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso, who established Sentebale in memory of their precious mothers, Princess Diana and Queen ‘Mamohato."
