Prince Harry to leave board of African Parks conservation nonprofit

Prince Harry is leaving the board of trustees for African Parks, a conservation nonprofit that operates protected areas in 13 African countries. He has served on the board for 10 years, and his departure is part of a "governance refresh" that includes the appointment of a Kenyan Supreme Court justice and the president of AGRA to the board.

The changes will take effect on September 30. African Parks praised Harry's decade of committed service but did not provide further details on the reason for his departure. This follows a call from the Indigenous rights group Survival International for Harry to resign in August, citing allegations of human rights abuses by African Parks rangers.

Harry previously stepped down from another charity, Sentebale, in March 2025 after a disagreement with the organization's chair.
