Dr. Lerotholi told Sky News: 'I can honestly say, during the meetings I was present, there was never a hint of such. The general tone and the behavior of the board has been one of respect for each other who have housed each other's opinions and inputs and speak with regard to each other. So this all came like a shock for me. '
Lerotholi, a cousin of Prince Seeiso who regards Harry as 'family', said that he was 'worried about the emotional well -being of both princes'. Regarding the chairman's statement, he said: 'I look in horror at the content of the statement, you know, and the allegations about misogynia and all that.
