TalkTV presenter Mark Dolan was left speechless after a show guest addressed King Charles and Prince William’s reaction to Prince Harry being sued by his former charity Senteable. A spokesman for the Duke of Sussex and another former trustee of the charity, Mark Dyer, who is also being sued, said: “They categorically reject these offensive and damaging claims.” In an acrimonious dispute over how the charity was being managed, Prince Harry left Sentebale last year.

The court filing shows Prince Harry as a defendant alongside another former trustee, Mark Dyer, in a claim listed on 24 March as “defamation – libel and slander”. A statement on behalf of the charity’s trustees and executive director said the court case seeks the court’s “intervention, protection, and restitution” against what it claims are co-ordinated media attacks, which it says undermine the charity and its efforts to help young people.

The host asked: “What do you think King Charles and Prince William make of headlines like this? That Harry is going to be sued for libel?”

In a four-word admission, Rupert replied: “Here we go again.”

He continued: “I think frustration because it’s yet more negative headlines. You know, it’s bad enough with the pair dealing with the fallout from the Epstein case and everything there around Andrew. So that’s bad news.

“Harry does seem to be another one who’s causing negativity around what the Royal Family are trying to do. We’ve got the celebration coming up of 800 years since the birth of the late Queen.” Mark Dolan on TalkTVMark Dolan chatted with Rupert Bell on Saturday (Image: TalkTV)

Rupert explained the royals will want to be telling “good stories” and the impact Queen Elizabeth II had on the nation.

“Because once again the headlines are dominated by the errant two, Andrew [Mountbatten-Windsor] and Prince Harry.”

A spokesperson for Prince Harry and Mark Dyer said the charity should be focusing its efforts on the communities supported by Sentebale, rather than pursuing legal actions.

Harry and his fellow founder Prince Seeiso left the charity in March 2025 along with a group of trustees, in a bitter boardroom dispute with the charity’s chair, Sophie Chandauka.
