  "account": "Prince Harry has resigned from the board of African Parks, an African wildlife charity, following allegations of human rights abuses by its rangers in Congo-Brazzaville. The Duke of Sussex served as president of the organization for six years before becoming a member of its board of directors in 2023. A spokesperson for Prince Harry stated that he remains a \"supporter of its mission\" and has committed to conservation in Africa. African Parks manages national parks and protected areas across 12 countries and has since improved its safeguarding processes following the independent investigation. Prince Harry's resignation comes shortly after he announced his relocation to the UK with the Duchess of Sussex, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet.",
