Harry resigns from African Parks board

Prince Harry has stepped down from his role on the board of African Parks, ending a decade-long association that included six years as president since 2017, while stressing he remains a supporter of the charity. The move comes amid an independent investigation that found human rights abuses by rangers at the Odzala-Kokoua National Park in the Republic of Congo, prompting the charity to undertake a governance refresh and implement reforms. African Parks thanked Harry for his decade of service and noted he would conclude his tenure as part of the board’s renewal. The development coincides with the Sussexes’ return to the UK after six years in the United States, with their children Archie and Lilibet enrolling in British schools and the family seeking a residence in or near London. Outlets described a broader relocation and public-life shift for the couple since stepping back from royal duties, with officials underscoring continued support for African Parks’ mission.
