A painfully uncomfortable exchange between Meghan Markle and the charity chief embroiled in an ongoing feud with Prince Harry has resurfaced. And according to one expert, the Duchess "lacked warmth" in the encounter, which has now become a central focus in the charity row. The crisis unfolded last week when Harry sensationally quit as a patron of Sentebale , the charity he set up to help young children in Lesotho, along with trustees, amid a boardroom battle within the organisation which has reportedly left him "torn apart". Since then Dr Sophie Chandauka, the chairwoman of the charity, has issued a blistering statement of her own, criticising the move by both founders and trustees. She even accused Harry of of trying to 'eject' her from the organisation through 'bullying' and 'harassment' - although sources close to Harry have dismissed her claims as 'baseless'. The extraordinary row has prompted a clip of Harry, wife Meghan and Dr Chandauka at a Sentebale charity event last year to resurface after the charity chair made a series of bombshell claims about the Sussexes at the event. At the charity polo fundraiser in April in Florida last year, Harry and Meghan packed on the PDA as they were snapped sharing a passionate kiss as the Duchess presented Harry's winning team with a trophy. Footage from the trophy presentation appeared to show Meghan asking Dr Chandauka not to pose next to Harry as he celebrated his win. The Duchess could be seen instructing people on stage and Dr Chandauka, who stood on Harry's right, was asked twice by Meghan to move to her left side away from her husband, as he kept his arm tightly around the Duchess. Meghan awkwardly signalled for Dr Chandauka to move by repeatedly waving her hands towards the opposite side of the stage. As a result, others on stage moved up to make enough space and the charity chairwoman had to crouch under the trophy to move into the spot Meghan asked her to be in. Dr Chandauka then said something to her that's inaudible in the clip. Speaking at the time after the clip went viral, body language expert Judi James noted how there was a lack of "warm, fond, connecting smiles or acts of close friendship from Meghan". However, she added: "Like any good director/star Meghan just seems to want to get on with the shot, beaming at Harry and posing beautifully and happily for the camera." She added: "This is Harry's victory scene and he and Meghan have performed their romantic kiss perfectly. Meghan seems to urge the woman across to stand in the gap next to her but when the woman does finally get the hint she needs to do a very awkward duck and under-arm movement to get to where Meghan has decided she should be." In an interview on Sky News yesterday, Dr Chandauka addressed the clip claiming that Meghan had only decided to turn up at the event at short notice - bringing her "very famous friend" Serena Williams with her. Recalling the day to Sir Trevor Phillips, she claimed: "We would have been really excited had we known ahead of time [Meghan was coming], but we didn't. "And so the choreography went badly on stage because we had too many people on stage. 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. 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." Footage from the event also appeared in Polo - a Netflix documentary produced by Prince Harry that premiered on the streaming service last year. And Dr Chandauka also suggested that allowing his Netflix show to film a Sentebale fund-raiser almost wrecked the event. She claimed: "We had a very generous family that was happy for us to use their polo grounds at a material discount. And then, about a month before the event was about to take place, Prince Harry called the team and said: 'I'm doing a Netflix show, and I would love to bring a camera crew." The charity chair alleged that no one involved in the fundraiser had agreed to appear on a TV show. Another problem was that the venue owners allegedly now saw the event as a commercial undertaking and named a high price, she said. She added: "We couldn't afford it … so now we lost the venue." However, the event did go ahead at what Dr Chandauka says was a different venue. Elsewhere in the explosive Sky News interview, she accused Harry of trying to 'eject' her from Sentebale through 'bullying' and 'harassment'. She added: "Really, what Prince Harry wanted to do was to eject me from the organisation. It went on for months through bullying, harassment." In response, Sir Trevor pressed: "What you're essentially saying is that the Duke of Sussex is guilty of harassment and bullying and improper conduct in the governance of the charity?" Dr Chandauka replied that Harry's release of a "damaging piece of news to the outside world " amounted to an attack on her and was "an example of harassment and bullying at scale". Since Dr Chandauka's latest interviews, representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not commented. However, a source close to the former trustees and patrons of Sentebale dismissed her comments as a "publicity stunt". They added: "They remain firm in their resignation, for the good of the charity, and look forward to the adjudication of the truth."
