Prince Harry's 'unpleasant' message to the chairman of his Sentebale Charity 'reinforced ideas that he is used to to people who are subordinate to him'.
The e -mail understands that the Royal SMS message has sent the 'extraordinary' message to Sophie Chandauka and demanded how to know how to deal with the public debacle in which his wife Meghan was involved, accused of punching her during a fundraising polo match.
Sources have described the message as 'in fact very unpleasant', 'imperious' and 'fairly extraordinary' in tone and her asked 'How are you going to deal with this?'
It is understanding that the message 'would strengthen the ideas of others that he is used to people who are up to him'.
The detail comes in the midst of a catastrophic fall-out between Harry and the managers of Sentebale, the charity he set up almost 20 years ago to help AIDS orphans in Lesotho, South African and Mrs. Chaandauka.
They have resigned themselves, demanded her resignation and claimed that the relationship between them was irreparably demolished.
Mrs Chaandauka, who took the position in 2023 after serving himself for a few years as a Trustee himself, was forced to conclude her public social media accounts yesterday because of the vitriolic level of hatred and 'trolls' to which she was subjected by fans of the Sussexes.
However, sources say that, although unpleasant, she is not going to resign and it is determined to concentrate on what it is the most important – the provision of much -needed services to communities in Lesotho and Botswana.

In interviews in the weekend she called the Sussexes' brand 'toxic' and accused Harry of 'intimidation and bullying on a scale', a claim that is strongly refused.
Much of the problem concentrates on a charity polo match in Miami last year, of which Mrs. Chandauka says it was derailed by the insistence of the Prince to take a Netflix film team with him to make scenes for a documentary he made. She believes it has led to the charity lost the location.
When the event was organized again, she says, Meghan came up unannounced and brought a friend, tennis star Serena Williams with her.
During a prize that ceremony gave, the subsequent chaos on stage Mrs Chaandauka apparently saw elbow by the Duchess of Sussex in a very uncomfortable exchange caught on the camera.
It is claimed that Harry asked her to make a statement 'in support of the Duchess' that she refused and said it was important that the charity was not seen as an 'expansion of the Sussexes'.
This was partly because Harry's decision to leave the royal family had proved problematic for charity in the field of decision -making and attracting sponsors, she claimed.
The SMS message would then have come and activated what is considered a total attempt to secure her departure by the prince and the managers of the charity, many of whom were good friends who had served on the board for many years.

Sources say that Mrs. Chandauka believed that there was a 'strong principle' at stake, namely that it would be wrong to confuse Harry's personal 'brand''s own objectives with charity.
In the midst of a whole series of claims and countercloths, it is also clear that Mrs. Chandauka is determined to leave her ground.
If a serious incident report (SIR) that is submitted by the Charity Commission is investigated, she says that she will concentrate on making the 540 in the country of Sentebale to continue their work, delivering much-needed health and youth opportunities to young people in the region.
Sources deny categorical suggestions that the charity is close to the collapse as a result of the Boardroom struggle and stress that both Mrs. Chandauka and the teams on the ground will continue their work.
Mrs. Chandauka said on the weekend that she 'had a great relationship with Harry' and sources close to the charity are that he 'respected and admired' remains in Lesotho for the work he did there 'and nobody can take this from him'.
But it is clear that the managers, now supported by the prince, 'want Sophie Out' about her attempts to bring the command structure of the charity away from London and 'Back to Africa'.
“Times went further and what was good 20 years ago is not the best operational model,” a source told the mail.
'Local leadership is the right way to run a charity focused in Africa.
'The managers do not seem to accept this. '

Mrs. Chandauka has stated that Prince Harry had not been to Lesotho for five years for his last visit in October 2024, which came at her request.
Observers have described this as 'quite telling' and wondered how much his focus had been on Sentebale since he had moved to the US and setting up his and Meghan's member of the philanthropic and commercial arm, Archewell.
There is also a strong anger with reactions made today/yesterday in the post by Alex Rayner, a friend of the prince who claims that he had been in contact with him this weekend and has been 'authorized' to speak for him, who claimed: 'It feels like [Ms Chandauka ] Had put her nose out of the joint because she was not the most important color of color on stage '.
Sources have described the claims as 'scandalous' and 'offensive' and come from someone who would say '' wife of color 'and put himself on the back'.
She [Ms Chandauka] Is a determined person and will take care of herself, but for her it is about the charity. What they are worried about is the well -being of the staff. It is a pity and unfair that they are subjected to this and she wants to concentrate on the work that is being done, “the source added.
It is understanding that an advantage of the furore is that new sponsors and donors have emerged.
Four new managers have also been mentioned, which suggests that the work of Sentebale will continue, regardless of the current row.
Although the Duke of Sussex did not respond to the claim that he has sent an 'imperious' text to Mrs. Chandauka, sources have suggested that many of the recent claims have been attempts to 'deviate from the serious things that play a role here'.
It is understood that the customers and managers have wondered whether they act 'in the best interest in the charity' and, if so, 'why does she use her platform to focus Prince Harry specifically'.
A source that closes the Netflix production team has also described the claimed version of events as 'misleading' and that video from Meghan and Mrs. Chandauka on stage is 'incorrectly displayed' and 'armed'.
A source close to managers and customers says that they had fully expected this publicity stunt and made their collective decision with this in mind. They remain determined in their dismissal, for the benefit of the charity, and look forward to the pronunciation of the truth '.
