Prince Harry - pot, kettle?
This week, Prince Harry decided to step down from Sentebale, which was a charity formed in 2006 in memory of his late mother, Diana Princess of Wales, to help Aids orphans in Southern Africa.
Now Sentebale, it actually means forget me not, and I think it's apt that we talk about this today on Mothering Sunday.
Dr Sophie Chandauka, who is the chair of the charity he set up, has accused him of harassment and bullying at scale after Harry and several others quit the organisation earlier this week.
She claimed that the Duke of Sussex was said to have initiated the campaign by the unleashing of the Sussex machine. So has the bullied become the bully?
Now it appears Harry has been accused of doing the very same thing that he's complaining about.
It all started apparently during the fundraiser. Remember the video of Meghan moving the charity boss Sophie out of the way during a polo match, raising funds for the charity? She wasn't moving out of the way of the game, by the way, it was out of a photo shoot.
Netflix were apparently filming, which, according to reports, hadn't been agreed by the charity boss, and the rift appears to have started there.
Harry himself has also repeatedly used the media to berate his family in the form of that global interview with Oprah. How could we forget when he and his wife gaslit the world into believing that there was a racist in the Royal Family, only to later deny that that's what was meant, because he didn't actually use the word racist, instead calling it unconscious bias in an interview with Tom Bradby years later.
At no point before that did he correct the narrative with the press, if that was the case. The Royal Family suffered horribly and the Queen went to her grave with this hanging over her legacy.
There was the documentary where he, in my view, insulted the UK. And of course, how could we forget the book Spare, full of insults towards his family and things that are better left unsaid out loud - at least it came across to many as a whinge fest from someone who is incredibly privileged.
Prince Harry's main mission. Since he and his wife Meghan chose to leave, the royal family has been to teach the press a lesson. He's been through continual lawsuits because of the way he feels that he's been treated. But now a similar complaint has been levied against him
Sophie told the media: "The only reason I'm here is because at some point on Tuesday, Prince Harry authorised the release of a damaging piece of news to the outside world without informing me or my directors. Can you imagine what that attack has done for me and the 540 individuals in Sentebale, the organisation and their families? That is an example of harassment and bullying at scale."
She alleged issues of poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny and misogynoir. And she has also reported Sentebale's trustees to the Charity Commission in the UK, and filed papers in a British court to prevent her removal.
She claims: "Beneath all the victim narrative and fiction that has been syndicated to the press is the story of a woman who dared to blow the whistle about the issue of poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny and misogynoir."
Well, a close source to Prince Harry and other trustees who left Sentebale this week said that they "fully expected this publicity stunt" from Dr Sophie Chandauka.
They "remain firm in their resignation and look forward to the adjudication of the truth".
Wow, what a royal mess Prince Harry has made of absolutely everything. You know what? I am actually beginning to feel sorry for him. Hold on - am I falling into the victimhood trap? After all, you couldn't get more high profile. It's definitely not short of a few bob.
