Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Britain's charities watchdog ruled Wednesday that all sides were to blame for a damaging public power struggle within Prince Harry's former venture helping children and young HIV-AIDS sufferers in South Africa -- but cleared the charity of bullying, harrassment and misogyny.
The Charity Commission's report into allegations against Sentabale by a whistleblower criticized all parties involved for allowing a bitter boardroom dispute to play out publicly, saying that the charity's reputation had been "severely impacted" with a knock-on threat to public trust in the charity sector.
The regulator said in a news release that it had issued Sentabale with a Regulatory Action Plan to address governance weaknesses after finding a "lack of clarity around role descriptions and internal policies as the primary cause for weaknesses in the charity's management."
It said it had concluded that this situation had exacerbated tensions, culminating in a dispute and resignations of trustees and co-founders Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, almost two decades after Harry set up the charity in memory of his mother, Princess Diana.
