Prince Harry is leaving his position as a trustee of African Parks, a conservation nonprofit that operates in 13 African countries. The prince, who recently announced his family's return to live in the U.K., completed 10 years of service with the organization before stepping down on Monday. African Parks revealed the prince's departure as part of a "governance refresh," which includes the appointment of a Kenyan Supreme Court justice and the president of AGRA to the board.
The changes are set to take effect on September 30. This move follows Harry's recent decision to step away from Sentebale, a charity he co-founded, in March 2025 due to conflicts with the organization's chair. Earlier this year, the Indigenous rights group Survival International had called for Harry to resign, alleging human rights abuses by African Parks' rangers.
Despite his exit from African Parks, the prince expressed gratitude to the board members for their "generous volunteer service" in support of the conservation mission.
