Prince Harry has made a major decision on African Parks' role ahead of his return to the United Kingdom.
On Monday, August 24th, the Duke of Sussex stepped down as a trustee of African Parks, his spokesperson has confirmed.
Although he is no longer on the board, Prince Harry remains an active and avid supporter of the charity.
The announcement said, "The Duke is proud of his ten years with African Parks and fully supports the ongoing strengthening of its Board."
"His commitment to conservation in Africa continues, and he remains a supporter of African Parks’ mission. Trustees are usually expected to serve for a term of no more than three years, and may be reappointed for further terms, up to a maximum of nine years," the Charity Governance Code said.
For those unaware, King Charles III's youngest son was appointed to the Board of Directors of African Parks in October 2023.
As the announcement has been made, the Chairman of the African Parks Board, Vas Narasimhan, extended his heartfelt thanks, as he said, "We extend our thanks to all the members of the Board who generously volunteer their time in support of our conservation mission - and particularly to The Duke of Sussex, for a decade of committed service to African Parks."
