Prince Harry is said to be devastated by the events surrounding a boardroom battle which saw him quit his charity Sentebale.
The dispute prompted the Duke of Sussex to step down as patron in support of trustees who had resigned in opposition to board chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka.
According to a source, it was a 'hostile takeover'.
On Tuesday (August 5), the Charity Commission published a report into the episode.
It criticised all sides for making the fallout public with interviews and statements - but the war of words has continued.
Sentebale appeared to suggest allegations of bullying, harassment and misogyny at the charity made by Dr Chandauka may be pursued against individuals through 'avenues more appropriate'.
The commission found no evidence in support of the allegations.
