  • Harry quit as patron of the charity, alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, in March, saying the move was in support of the trustees – who also resigned – in a dispute with chairwoman Sophie Chandauka.
  • The watchdog has now condemned "all parties" for allowing the "damaging" boardroom dispute to play out publicly, harming the charity's reputation.
