After parting ways with the royal family, Prince Harry has been relying solely upon his remnant of royal patronages and his self-built foundation with his wife, Archewell. With his Invictus Games in full bloom, the Duke has now further cast his attention toward his other charitable endeavors. The Prince has always had a soft corner for South Africa, having spent a significant amount of time back in his youth. Looking after the welfare of its people, he established an organization, Sentebale, in collaboration with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. Recent developments in its administration have apparently left the Prince in bits. 

The sudden blow has reportedly sourced from a feud linked with his wife, Meghan Markle. Sentebale’s trustee and chairperson for five years, Johnny Hornby has stepped down from the organization after 11 years of diligent cooperation. The step did not have any explicit explanations. However, the underlying reasons go back to one of the deep-seated controversies with Meghan Markle. 

Hornby, also called the advertising king for the Duke’s charities, played an active role in raising his voice against The Sun correspondent, Jeremy Clarkson. As Daily Express claims, the half-brother of About a Boy author, Nick Hornby pressed the journalist for apologizing to the Duchess. Hornby found himself “in a difficult situation” after treading in the controversial matters of the Clarkson-Sussex debacle. Nonetheless, his dedication to Prince Harry and Sentebale remained intact until his unprecedented resignation.

But what is the Clarkson versus Meghan Markle debacle all about?

Insight into the Jeremy Clarkson vs Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feud 

Those following the Duchess would know. But for the unversed, Jeremy Clarkson was involved in a brutal controversy with the Duchess. His vile comments expressing his “cellular level hatred” for Markle put him under the fire of various eminent personalities from the industry. Not only did it incite netizens on social media, various US think tanks issued mass protests against his comments. 

The Sun publication finally issued a written apology on behalf of Jeremy Clarkson. The journalist, meanwhile, proceeded to explain his words on his social media platform. Clarkson claimed that it was his dream to see the Duchess parade naked on the Streets of the United Kingdom with other ghastly comments. All of it was heavily frowned upon by the masses.
