Prince Harry has stepped down from his Sentebale charity, despite previously declaring his commitment would "never falter".
The Duke of Sussex co-founded the charity in 2006 to support children who had lost parents to HIV and AIDS in Lesotho.
His departure comes after what has been described as a "catastrophic breakdown" in relationships among the charity's leadership.
The move is particularly significant as Harry had maintained his connection to Sentebale even after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
He last visited Lesotho in 2024 and reaffirmed his dedication to the organisation at that time.
Carole Malone has strongly criticised the duke on GB News for abandoning his charity responsibilities.

"Here is Harry who has been a part of this charity for a long time," Malone said.
She pointedly quoted his previous commitment: "'My work and commitment to this charity will never falter'. Hello, it has faltered already at the first sign. He has run away."
The broadcaster didn't hold back in her assessment of the situation.
"This a charity set up for a very good cause and the minute s*** hits the fan, he leaves," she added.
The criticism comes amid reports of internal disputes at the charity that led to Harry's departure.
However, broadcaster Jonathan Lis defended Prince Harry during the GB News discussion.
"There has clearly been a breakdown of trust and none of us have any idea what is going on," Lis said.
He pointed out that Harry wasn't alone in leaving the organisation.
"It's not just Harry who has left. It's also the co-founder," Lis noted, referring to Prince Seeiso of Lesotho.
The charity holds deep personal significance for Harry, as its name means "forget-me-not" in Sesotho, the language of Lesotho.
Both founders were motivated by the loss of their mothers, with Harry often connecting the work to Princess Diana's legacy.
"I'm not siding with anyone because I don't know what has gone on," Lis added.
