哈里王子为纪念已故母亲戴安娜王妃在非洲联合创立的一家慈善机构，在他去年辞去赞助人职务后，以诽谤罪起诉他。
据周五查阅的法庭记录显示，哈里王子2006年与莱索托亲王塞伊索联合创立的Sentebale慈善机构，上月在伦敦高等法院提起诉讼。该机构旨在帮助南部非洲感染艾滋病毒的青少年。
在线 filings 显示，哈里及其友人、该慈善机构受托人马克·戴尔，被控诽谤或口头诽谤。目前尚无相关文件公开。
Sentebale周五在其官网发布的一份声明中表示：“自2025年3月25日以来，一场有组织的负面媒体宣传活动对该慈善机构、其领导层及其战略合作伙伴造成了运营中断和声誉损害，本慈善机构寻求法院的干预、保护和赔偿。”
在该慈善机构总部所在国莱索托的当地语言中，Sentebale意为“勿忘我”。
2023年，双方在新的筹款战略上出现分歧。哈里与塞伊索于2025年3月辞去该慈善机构赞助人职务。
当时两人表示，董事会与其主席索菲·昌道卡之间的关系已无法修复，他们辞职是为声援因一场公开的内部纠纷辞职的五名受托人。
哈里与塞伊索当时在联合声明中表示：“所发生的一切令人难以想象。我们震惊地发现不得不采取这一行动，但我们仍对Sentebale的受益人负有持续责任，因此我们将向慈善委员会披露我们对这一事件起因的所有担忧。”
昌道卡后来指责哈里策划了一场欺凌和骚扰运动，试图将她赶下台。
她今年3月在接受天空新闻采访时表示，哈里的辞职让她猝不及防，是“大规模骚扰和欺凌的例证”。她还称哈里干预了她针对该慈善机构提出的举报人投诉。
“这是一场掩盖行动，王子也牵涉其中，”她说道。

英国和威尔士慈善委员会对双方展开调查，批评双方任由事件公开化，损害了该机构的声誉，但未发现Sentebale存在广泛欺凌或厌女行为的证据。
委员会首席执行官戴维·霍兹沃斯2025年8月在一份声明中表示：“Sentebale的问题在公众视野中发酵，这场破坏性纠纷损害了该慈善机构的声誉，可能掩盖其诸多成就，并危及该慈善机构为其创立初衷服务的受益群体提供服务的能力。”
哈里的发言人批评了委员会的报告，而昌道卡则对报告表示欢迎。
周五发给萨塞克斯公爵办公室的置评请求尚未得到立即回复。
Prince Harry sued by charity in Africa he co-founded in honor of Princess Diana

A charity that Prince Harry co-founded in Africa to honor his late mother, Princess Diana, is suing him for defamation after he stepped down as a patron last year.
Sentebale, which Harry co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 and helps youths with HIV in southern Africa, filed suit last month in London’s High Court, according to court records reviewed Friday.
Online filings show Harry and his friend, Mark Dyer, a trustee at the charity, are being sued for either libel or slander. No documents were available.
“The charity seeks the court’s intervention, protection, and restitution following a coordinated adverse media campaign conducted since 25 March 2025 that has caused operational disruption and reputational harm to the charity, its leadership, and its strategic partners,” Sentebale said Friday in a statement on its website.
In the local language of Lesotho, where the charity is based, Sentebale means “forget-me-not.”

Disagreements surfaced in 2023 over a new fundraising strategy. Harry and Seeiso stepped down as patrons of the charity in March 2025.
At the time, they said the relationship between the board and its chair, Sophie Chandauka, was beyond repair and that they were stepping down in solidarity with five trustees who resigned over an internal dispute that had broken into public view.
“What’s transpired is unthinkable. We are in shock that we have to do this, but we have a continued responsibility to Sentebale’s beneficiaries, so we will be sharing all of our concerns with the Charity Commission as to how this came about,” Harry and Seeiso said in a joint statement at the time.
Chandauka later accused Harry of orchestrating a campaign of bullying and harassment to try to force her out.
She told Sky News in March that Harry’s resignation had blindsided her and was “an example of harassment and bullying at scale.” She said he also had interfered with a whistleblower complaint she filed against the charity.
“So it’s a cover-up, and the prince is involved,” she said.

The Charity Commission for England and Wales investigated and criticized both sides for allowing the issue to be played out in public and damaging the organization’s reputation, but found no evidence of widespread bullying or misogyny at Sentebale.
“Sentebale’s problems played out in the public eye, enabling a damaging dispute to harm the charity’s reputation, risk overshadowing its many achievements, and jeopardizing the charity’s ability to deliver for the very beneficiaries it was created to serve,” commission CEO David Holdsworth said in a statement in August 2025.
Harry’s spokesman had criticized the commission’s report while Chandauka welcomed it.
Messages seeking comment sent Friday to the office of the Duke of Sussex were not immediately returned.
