Prince Harry is under fresh scrutiny following claims that he sent an “angry and unpleasant” message to Dr. Sophie Chandauka, the chair of his charity Sentebale, amid a disagreement involving his wife, Meghan Markle.
According to MailOnline, an insider from Sentebale alleged that the Duke of Sussex became upset after Dr. Chandauka declined to publicly support Meghan during a controversy surrounding a polo charity event in Florida last year. The source revealed that Harry’s reaction was surprisingly harsh, considering his outspoken stance against bullying — particularly in defense of Meghan.
“Harry should be nervous about this message coming out, especially when he has been so outspoken about his wife being bullied in the past,” the insider said. They added that the prince, who previously went to great lengths to protect Meghan, even at the cost of family relationships, now faces criticism for allegedly displaying the very behavior he has condemned.
The event in question reportedly saw Meghan guiding Dr. Chandauka away from Harry on stage, a moment that sparked widespread speculation online about potential tension between the two women. The fallout from the incident was compounded when Dr. Chandauka reportedly accused Harry of using the charity for personal image management, further straining the relationship.
Adding to the controversy, Dr. Chandauka later deleted her Twitter account, allegedly due to a wave of online abuse from accounts aligned with Sussex supporters.
The situation has reignited debates around hypocrisy and double standards, with critics pointing out the contradiction between Harry’s public advocacy against bullying and the private allegations now surfacing. Neither Prince Harry nor Sentebale has officially commented on the claims at the time of writing.
