Dr. Sophie Chandauka (47) is said to have deliberately played the "racism card" after accusing the royal of abuse of power, bullying, sexism and racism .

As Page Six reported, an insider stated on Tuesday that this was her goal and that she wanted to attack Harry.

"That's her plan. As soon as someone turns on her, she plays the racism card and attacks," the source said.

It was further claimed that she came out with her allegations after being accused of losing a major sponsor for the annual polo tournament .

Shortly afterwards, the board committee is said to have urged the 47-year-old to resign.

Another insider also claimed that Chandauka was not originally intended to be chairperson, but merely to help select a suitable candidate.

He explained that Chandauka had put herself forward for the position, arguing that she was a "globally connected, US-based , black, South African senior executive with an exceptional corporate career".

She even reportedly threatened legal action if she was not considered for the position.

It now remains to be seen whether Prince Harry will comment on the latest developments after recently announcing his resignation from the organization.
