Prince Harry's African charity, Sentebale, has disabled comments on its official Twitter account following allegations of 'online harassment.' 

The move comes just months after Harry made headlines for resigning from the very organisation he helped establish, amid claims from the charity's chief accusing him of 'bullying.' 

A statement posted online reads: 'Unfortunately, we have had to temporarily disable comments on this platform due to the harmful effects of targeted online harassment.'

The charity's chief, Dr. Sophie Chandauka, had similar taken down her own social media accounts after being subjected to trolling from the so-called 'Sussex Squad' in the aftermath of their dispute. 

Harry departed from Sentebale at the end of March, supporting trustees who declared Chandauka's leadership as 'untenable.' 

In response, Chandauka accused the Duke of 'harassment and bullying at scale' and described the Sussex brand as 'toxic' allegations that Prince Harry's team has firmly denied. 

The Duke of Sussex fired back in an April 3 statement, calling the accusations “blatant lies.”

In its statement, the charity reassured  its supporters that its core mission remains unchanged, stating: 'We will not engage with misinformation or personal attacks here.' 

The statement concluded: 'Thank you to those who continue to support and follow the work of Sentebale.'

It is worth mentioning that Prince Harry founded Sentebale in 2006 to honour Princess Diana and support vulnerable youth in Southern Africa.
