... are you saying that Sophie Chandauka should've put up and shut up about her claims of mistreatment and bullying but that Meghan was right to speak out about her claims of mistreatment and bullying within the BRF?
No, I'm not saying that, not at all. I don't know what the circumstances are behind all of this, there are always two sides to every story and we should wait until the Charity Commission's investigation is complete.
What I am saying is that for the benefit of Sentebale, which will now be looking for new patrons, trustees, board members, funders etc, she should not have toured the TV studios this weekend airing the organisations' dirty laundry, whoever was at fault. What she should have done is managed a positive spin on the situation so that the organisation's reputation didn't suffer.
I have no doubt that the polo incident was infuriating. But she didn't need to talk it. She could have used the opportunity to talk about how she wanted to move the organisation forward in a new direction, to find African support that empowers the African communities it helps. But she didn't do that and now the story is about mud flinging between her and Harry, and worse, her and Meghan, (two African women who both want to empower women seemingly at war). That's the worst outcome of all for Sentebale and the young people it helps. It's like teachers fighting in the playground.
Net result: Sentebale suffers.
