Prince Harry's charity faces crisis as key staffer resigns

In recent months, several key personnel have left Prince Harry's charity, Sentebale, reflecting ongoing challenges within the organization. Richard Miller, who served as the chief executive for five years, officially announced his resignation, indicating that a shift to local leadership was necessary for the charity's evolution. This departure is part of a broader trend of high-profile exits from Harry and Meghan Markle's team, which has seen 21 staff members leave since they stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Notably, Miller's exit and others have raised concerns about the stability and future direction of Sentebale, which Harry co-founded in 2006 to support vulnerable children in Southern Africa, particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS. The charity has emphasized the need for increased local agency and leadership, aligning with global trends that prioritize local ownership in developmental initiatives. Despite the ongoing turmoil, Harry and Meghan have remained committed to their American life, continuing their philanthropic efforts while navigating the challenges that come with it. The recent staff changes at Sentebale highlight a significant transitional phase for Prince Harry as he adapts his philanthropic pursuits away from the royal spotlight and addresses the associated complexities of managing his charitable endeavors. In the face of these departures, the couple is working to redefine the operational framework of their initiatives and maintain a focus on their commitment to improving the lives of young people in need.
