It has been claimed that the prince wanted to bring his Netflix crew along to a charity event, which sent plans into turmoil.
Prince Harry reportedly caused the Sentebale charity he co-founded to miss out on a venue for an event by a demand to bring his Netflix camera crew, the chairman of the charity has claimed just days after the Duke of Sussex, 40, stepped down from the charity. In an interview with Sky News that aired this morning, Dr Sophie Chandauka said an opportunity for Sentebale to do a charity Polo Challenge in Miami was in turmoil when Harry insisted on bringing his Netflix camera crew along.
Speaking about what happened, she claimed that about a month before the event was due to take place, the prince called the team and said: "I'm doing a Netflix show, and I would love to bring a camera crew so that I can include some footage in this show." Dr Chandauka said that this needed consent from the property owners, the sponsors and all of the guests as "nobody signed up to being on a Netflix show". She said: "We come up with draft agreements and of course, the venue owner says this is now a commercial undertaking. So here are my terms. We couldn't afford it. So now we lost the venue."

these “elites” are complete pscyhopaths. Won’t they be surprised when they have to stand before the Lord on Judgment Day.
Meghan Markle ‘disrupted’ Sentebale polo game by turning up at short notice with ‘very famous friend’ - before Prince Harry ‘demanded’ charity’s chair issue public statement defending her
********
Meghan Markle caused ‘disruption’ after turning up to a charity event at short notice and bringing her ‘very famous friend’ Serena Williams, the chair of Harry’s charity has claimed. ...
The charity chairman, who was stood on the Duke’s right, was asked twice by Meghan to move to her left side away from Harry, as he kept his arm around his wife.
Others therefore had to shuffle around them to find a place, with Dr Chandauka awkwardly having to duck under the trophy to get into the position Meghan was asking her to stand in.
Speaking to Sky News’ Trevor Phillips, Dr Chandauka recalled the events of the chaotic event, telling him: ‘We would have been really excited had we known ahead of time [Meghan was coming], but we didn’t.
‘And so the choreography went badly on stage because we had too many people on stage.
‘The international press captured this, and there was a lot of talk about the Duchess and the choreography on stage and whether she should have been there and her treatment of me.
‘Prince Harry asked me to issue some sort of a statement in support of the Duchess, and I said I wouldn’t.
‘Not because I didn’t care about the Duchess, but because I knew what would happen if I did so, number one. And number two, because we cannot be an extension of the Sussexes.’
In fairness to Harry (who I’m not particularly fond of, but) bringing a camera to raise awareness of the charity doesn’t seem like a dark move. I mean, that’s what charities usually want, isn’t it? More publicity, more coverage, raise awareness...? Not sure what the problem was. Even the owner of the venue... this would have brought him more business. Why be a jerk about it? This is strange.
Matthew 6:1-2 immediately comes to mind:
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.”
“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”
There are times and places for bringing public attention to good deeds. But most of what we see from celebrities is “to be seen by men.”
Are we seeing the results of Harry not having the “family” to clean up his messes and image?
“this needed consent from the property owners, the sponsors and all of the guests as “nobody signed up to being on a Netflix show”
I would be incensed at being co-opted into an unadvertised Netflix “experience”.
The charity’s representative was behaving honorably in seeking consent. Consent was withheld by means of raising the cost to use the property. Harry’s move was tone deaf, high handed & as always self-centered
The venue seems to give a discount for charity events and it’s half a dime to a nickle where the better profit would have come from. They wanted short term profit. Their choice but it’s also a decision about precedent for other “charitable” events.
As for bringing a camera, the head of the charity didn’t object to Netflix being there, but to not being informed in advance that Meghan and her friend were coming and to Meghan suddenly micromanaging an event she wasn’t supposed to be at. She’s said she would have welcomed Meghan etc if she had been allowed to plan in advance.
Agreed on “not particularly fond of.” I’m more like “disgusted” by the pair.
They had to change venues. The camera crew was probably for Harry and Megain personal gain since it was for his Netflix show. It would also require consents, releases, NDA’s etc from all who appeared on film. You know Harry probably isn’t going to pay them😄
I saw her interview and thought she did a good job. They did have an unnamed “source” who refuted some of her statements. Can’t imagine who that could have been🙄
So it wasn't Netflix that was the deal-breaker, it was Meghan? Well... I can understand that. From what I can tell, she's one of those women, like Blake Lively, who just goes full Evil Queen when she's in charge.
I don’t know if you have been following these two - Meghan and Hairy - but Meghan fancies herself as Diana reincarnated - she is practically shunned from the Royal Family as she is classless and evil. Harry has a reputation as an alleged abuser and they are both only doing what makes them look good as opposed to actually doing good.
Clapping at an excellent example of subtle sarcasm. Well done!
Oh, and she is a terrible actress to boot!
Harry and Meghan want “Privacy”.
And want to bring their Netflix Camera Crew too.
Both are just effing grifters.
Netflix is paying Meghan and Harry $100 Million to produce content.
They are trying to use charity appearances to create content.
Guarantee Meghan would have been the focus.
Not the charity.
And yes…for profit to Meghan.
WE WANT OUR PRIVACY!!!
Man, if that's the case, they could have at least paid for the venue. Wow.
I cancelled Netflix due to H&M jumping in to this platform.
