Prince Harry is facing a defamation lawsuit from Sentebale, the charity he co-founded in honor of Princess Diana. The case, filed in London, centers on alleged reputational harm and a coordinated negative media campaign against the charity, with Harry and a former Sentebale trustee named as defendants. Sentebale has stated the lawsuit seeks redress and is being funded by external donors, not the charity’s resources. The development comes as Harry has been in the U.K. and abroad for various engagements, including upcoming appearances in Australia around the time the news broke.

- What: Defamation (libel/slander) lawsuit filed by Sentebale against Prince Harry and Mark Dyer, a former trustee.
