Prince Harry Resigns From African Charity Sentebale
Prince Harry has announced his resignation from the African charity Sentebale, an organization he co-founded in memory of his late mother, Princess Diana. The charity, which focuses on helping children and young people affected by HIV/AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, has been a significant part of Harry's philanthropy since its inception in 2006.
The Duke of Sussex cited personal reasons for his decision to step back from his role as patron. In a statement, he expressed his continued support for Sentebale's mission and his commitment to finding new ways to support the charity's efforts. The announcement has sparked a wave of reactions across social media, with many expressing sadness over his departure but also appreciation for his past contributions.
Harry's resignation comes at a time when he and his wife, Meghan, have been focusing more on their family and new projects in the United States. Sentebale, meaning 'forget-me-not' in the Sesotho language, will continue its work under new leadership, with Harry promising to remain a supporter from afar.
