London: British regulators criticised both sides in a dispute over the future of a charity founded by Princes Harry and Seeiso of Lesotho, for all­owing the issue to be played out in public and damaging the organisation’s reputation.

The Charity Commission for England and Wales said it found no evidence of widespread bullying or misogyny at Sentebale, which provides support for young people living with HIV in Botswana and Lesotho. It opened a review of Senteb­ale’s governance in April after the princes stepp­ed down as patrons and a group of trustees, saying the relationship between the bo­ard and its chair, Sophie Chandauka, was beyond rep­air. Chandauka accused Har­ry of orchestrating a camp­a­ign of bullying and harassm­ent to try to force her out.  -AP
