Dr Sophie Chandauka said Harry's "unleashing of the Sussex machine" has broken the relationship between the prince and the 540 people who work for the Sentebale charity, the youth-focused organisation founded by the Duke of Sussex and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006.

"The only reason I'm here... is because at some point on Tuesday, Prince Harry authorised the release of a damaging piece of news to the outside world without informing me or my country directors, or my executive director," Dr Chandauka said on Sky's Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips.

"And can you imagine what that attack has done for me, on me and the 540 individuals in the Sentebale organisations and their family?

"That is an example of harassment and bullying at scale."

Harry and Seeiso resigned as patrons of Sentebale earlier this week in support of the charity's trustees, who left the organisation following a dispute with Dr Chandauka.
