Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, steps down from the board of the African wildlife and conservation charity African Parks, according to multiple outlets. His spokesperson confirms he is no longer a trustee, after about a decade of involvement.
The reports link the decision to controversy around the charity’s rangers and human-rights allegations. BBC News and others say African Parks admitted last year that human rights abuses were committed in connection with its operations in the Republic of the Congo. Coverage also cites an acknowledgement that some incidents involved abuses, and reference is made to an independent investigation substantiating allegations at Odzala-Kokoua National Park.
Some outlets emphasize the organisation’s “scandal-mired” status, while others focus on Harry’s role and timing ahead of his reported return to the UK with his wife Meghan. Across sources, the common point is that African Parks has faced claims of ranger misconduct, and Harry’s departure follows that period of scrutiny. No outlet cited provides details on new allegations or on the reasons for Harry’s step-down beyond the confirmation of his change in role.
