PRINCE Harry's decision to step down as a working royal and move to the US has seen the charity he set up in his mother's name lose donors, its chairwoman has claimed.

In an explosive interview, Sentebale head Dr Sophie Chandauka accused the King's youngest son of "harassment and bullying at scale" as she criticised the "toxicity" of his brand and its impact on the organisation.

This follows Harry's announcement last week that he had quit as patron for Sentebale amid a heated boardroom battle with the organisation.

The charity, which he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, helps young people and children in southern Africa, particularly those living with HIV and Aids.

Announcing their resignation in a joint statement, the Duke and Prince Seeiso said they had stepped back until further notice. They added it was "devastating" that the relationship between Sentebale's trustees and the chair of the board "broke down beyond repair". The move came as several trustees left.
