Meghan Markle’s awkward exchange with Africa charity head resurfaces after Prince Harry ‘bullying’ claims

awkward exchange with Dr. Sophie Chandauka, chairwoman of the Sentebale charity, has resurfaced following Chandauka’s “bullying” claims about Prince Harry.In April 2024, the trio took a photo together celebrating Harry’s polo team’s win at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida.

But after Chandauka stood next to Harry, 40, his wife asked Chandauka to move next to her instead.“Do you want to come over here?” Markle, 43, could be heard asking Chandauka.Chandauka then had to awkwardly duck under the trophy that the group was holding in order to switch placements in the picture.During her new bombshell interview with Sky News, Chandauka addressed her viral exchange with Markle, who showed up to the event allegedly unannounced with her pal Serena Williams.“The choreography went badly on stage, because we had too many people on stage,” Chandauka explained. “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,” Chandauka claimed. “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.”Chandauka said that, if she had spoke out in defense of Markle, the “Suits” alum would’ve experienced “worse trolling.”The Post has reached out to Harry and Markle’s reps for comment.Chandauka planned the Royal Salute Polo Challenge as chairwoman of Sentebale, which Harry co-founded in 2006 to help young people affected by AIDs in southern Africa.
