New details have emerged in the legal dispute surrounding Prince Harry's Sentebale charity, contradicting earlier reports about court proceedings.
It was initially reported that a judge had granted an injunction to prevent the removal of chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka.
However, GB News now understands no such injunction was granted.
The dispute centres on a boardroom battle that saw several trustees leave the organisation following a conflict with Dr Chandauka.

When trustees formally requested her resignation and she declined, they attempted to force the move through with a vote.
Dr Chandauka then filed a legal challenge at the High Court to prevent their meeting.
While there is no formal record of proceedings at the Royal Courts of Justice, sources claim the court did not grant an injunction.
As the charity board meeting was ultimately cancelled, the judge reportedly decided no further hearing or court appearance was necessary.

It remains unclear where this leaves Dr Chandauka's legal challenge.
It is understood that Prince Harry is not personally the subject of any legal action in this matter.

This development comes 19 years after Harry founded the organisation.
Following Harry's departure, Sentebale issued its first social media statement on Wednesday.
In a message entitled 'Led by the Mission', the charity appeared to downplay the importance of Harry's role.
"It's the incredible teams on the ground—our staff and local partners—who bring our mission to life every day, walking alongside the children and young people we serve," the charity wrote.
The statement continued: "While trustees are key for governance and regulation, and patrons - especially founders - are an honour to have, it's the people in the field who are advancing the work, no matter what."
Sentebale emphasised its commitment to supporting youth in Southern Africa "remains as strong as ever".

"The work continues because they deserve nothing less," the charity added.
Prince Harry founded Sentebale in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in honour of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
The charity was established to help young people and children in southern Africa, particularly those living with HIV and Aids.
Harry's connection to Lesotho began during his gap year in 2004, when he spent two months in the kingdom at age 19.
As recently as October, Harry visited Lesotho and spoke about the "massive difference" Sentebale was making.
The name "Sentebale" means "forget me not" in Sesotho, the language of Lesotho, reflecting the princes' commitment to remembering vulnerable children.
