Prince Harry‘s latest legal battle isn’t of his making, and reports say he is struggling to cope with the situation.

The former senior royal was sued by Sentebale, the charity he co-founded and was actively involved in until a fallout last year.

The non-profit is suing Prince Harry for libel, as they claim he “coordinated adverse media campaigns” that undermine the charity and its efforts to help young people.

The Lawsuit Has Completely ‘Rattled’ Prince Harry, Source Reveals

Just over a year after stepping away from his charity, Sentebale, in dramatic fashion, Prince Harry has now been sued by the non-profit for defamation.

Although a spokesperson for the former senior royal has denied the allegations made by the organization, sources say that behind the scenes, Harry is “freaking out,” particularly as it implies that he is on the receiving end, after years of pursuing such battles himself.

“This has completely rattled him. He’s not in control of the narrative anymore — and that’s what’s driving him crazy,” an insider told journalist, Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice” Substack.

“The irony isn’t lost on anyone,” the source continued. “He’s spent years attacking the media for leaks — now he’s being accused of leaking himself.”

“He can dish it out all day long,” one more insider added about Harry’s situation. “But he absolutely cannot take it.”

Prince Harry Doesn’t Like That He Is Being Sued For Defamation

Harry co-founded Sentebale in 2006 alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho.

For years, he remained actively involved in its work but stepped down in March 2025, along with his co-founder and the board of trustees, after the charity’s relationship with chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka reportedly broke down beyond repair when she refused to resign.

At the time of his departure, he addressed the situation in a statement, calling for an investigation into the charity and Chandauka’s activities.

Now facing similar scrutiny as a result of the lawsuit is unfamiliar territory for him, and it is said to be something he finds particularly uncomfortable.

“He’s used to being the one pointing fingers,” the source shared. “Now the finger is pointed at him, and he doesn’t like it one bit.”

The Duke’s Legal Battle With British Tabloids Makes The Situation Worse For Him

Even worse, Harry is embroiled in other legal battles against British tabloids, in which he has delivered passionate arguments about the media abusing their power.

The Duke of Sussex is now worried about being seen in the same light as those he has long campaigned against.

“This hits at the core of his brand,” an insider further remarked about the situation.

They added, “If he’s seen as playing the same media games he’s condemned, it undercuts everything.”

Prince Harry Has Received No Sympathy From Senior Royals Amid Sentebale Saga

Having already distanced himself from other senior royals over the years, Prince Harry is reportedly receiving little sympathy back home.

Much of the strain between him and Buckingham Palace stems from his bombshell interview remarks, the documentary he appeared in with his wife, Meghan Markle, and his memoir.

All three are said to have dealt a significant blow to the Palace’s reputation, leading many to believe Harry should now face the consequences of his issues with Sentebale on his own.

“There’s a sense of ‘well, well, well…'” a source shared. “People think this is exactly what happens when you live by the sword.”

“He wanted accountability,” one more remarked. “Now he’s getting it — and he’s not coping.”

All About Sentebale’s Lawsuit Against Prince Harry

The defamation suit against Harry from Sentebale is tied to allegations of him carrying out an “adverse media campaign” that has reportedly caused disruption and “reputational harm” to the non-profit and its current board of trustees.

The suit appears to have been filed in March, and doesn’t only name Harry as a defendant, but also names another ex-trustee, Mark Dyer.

With the suit, Sentebale’s current leadership is seeking the court’s “intervention, protection, and restitution” against Harry’s alleged actions, which they claim undermine the charity and its efforts to help young people.

In response, a rep for Harry and Dyer has urged the charity to stick to its focus rather than pursuing legal actions.

“It is extraordinary that charitable funds are now being used to pursue legal action against the very people who built and supported the organization for nearly two decades, rather than being directed to the communities the charity was ​created to serve,” the ​spokesperson said.
