A charity co-founded by Prince Harry in honour of his late mother, Princess Diana, which he quit following a high-profile dispute, is suing the British royal for libel at the High Court in London, a court record showed on Friday.
The Duke of Sussex co-founded Sentebale in 2006 to help young people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.
However, he resigned as a patron in March 2025 after a public falling-out with the chairwoman of the board, Sophie Chandauka.
GB News has contacted the Duke of Sussex's representatives for comment.

Your Say
According to a record made public on Friday, Sentebale lodged a defamation claim last month at the High Court against Harry and one of his close friends, Mark Dyer, who was also a trustee of the charity.
There were no details as to what the lawsuit involved.
GB News has also contacted Sentebale for comment.
The charity's co-founder, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, and the board of trustees joined Harry in leaving Sentebale.

The duke helped set up the charity nine years after Princess Diana was killed in a Paris car crash.
Sentebale means "forget-me-not" in the local language of Lesotho in southern Africa.
Prince Harry previously called the breakdown in the relationship with Dr Chandauka devastating.
She reported him and the trustees to Britain's charity regulator for alleged bullying and harassment.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
After a review, the Charity Commission reported it had found no evidence of bullying.
However, it said there had been weak governance and criticised all parties for allowing an internal dispute to become public.
