GB News Royal correspondent Cameron Walker has described the ongoing dispute at Prince Harry's charity Sentebale as a "he said, she said" situation amid news that the Charity Commission has opened a compliance case.
The Duke of Sussex quit as patron of Sentebale last week following what appears to be a boardroom dispute.
The UK watchdog has escalated its investigation into "concerns raised" about the charity just a week after Harry's resignation as patron.
In his statement, Prince Harry described the fallout from his resignation as "heartbreaking to witness" and expressed hope that the Charity Commission would "unveil the truth that collectively forced us to resign".
Cameron Walker said: "A very strongly worded statement, I hasten to add. So I think there are two things to say: it's very much a 'he said, she said' situation when it comes to this boardroom battle royale and the Charity Commission.
"Perhaps, I think, Prince Harry is saying you need to give us the exact truth, and that's the truth we should have.

"And again, it appears he's subtly asking for the chair to step down while this investigation goes ahead. But from the chair's statement, we had, you know, about 20 minutes or so, and it seems that Dr Sophie will not budge."
He added: "It's very tit for tat. Long gone are the days of never complained, never explain."
In his statement, Prince Harry described the fallout from his resignation as "heartbreaking to witness" and expressed hope that the Charity Commission would "unveil the truth that collectively forced us to resign".
The Duke of Sussex emphasised that the situation has been particularly difficult when "blatant lies hurt those who have invested decades in this shared goal".
"No one suffers more than the beneficiaries of Sentebale itself," Harry stated.
He co-founded the charity nearly 20 years ago with Prince Seeiso to support children and young people in Southern Africa in memory of their mothers.
"We fully expect it will unveil the truth that collectively forced us to resign," he said.
Harry added that they remain "hopeful this will allow for the charity to be put in the right hands immediately, for the sake of the communities we serve".
The Charity Commission confirmed it is "in direct contact with parties who have raised concerns" about Sentebale.
Despite the high-profile departures, Dr Chandauka has maintained her position.
She insists the charity she runs is "acting appropriately to demonstrate and ensure good governance and a healthy culture for Sentebale to thrive."
The charity's executive director, Carmel Gaillard, has stated that her team is committed to cooperating with the Charity Commission's case.
Gaillard added: "We welcome the clarity this process will bring.
