Prince Harry has stepped down as a trustee of the charity African Parks after a decade-long commitment.
A spokesman for Prince Harry confirms the Duke's pride in his decade-long tenure with African Parks, fully supporting the ongoing strengthening of its board.
His commitment to conservation in Africa endures; he remains a steadfast supporter of African Parks’ mission.
African Parks admitted to human rights abuses following an independent review conducted by London law firm Omnia Strategy LLP.
Survival International also claims human rights abuses by rangers employed by African Parks.
Sources close to the Sussexes indicate Harry and Meghan's children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, have enrolled in British schools, set to commence classes in September.
The family reportedly plans to reside at a private, non-royal residence outside London, with suggestions pointing towards the Cotswolds.
The King, the Duke's father, was reportedly taken aback, learning of the homecoming plans only last Sunday.
He had not received this information when Harry and Meghan met him during their visit to Britain last month; the Prince and Princess of Wales have made no public comment on the prospective return.
Please, boys. Don't make my final years a misery.
Prince Harry appeals to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood regarding police protection, having previously lost a legal battle against the Home Office over security arrangements for his family in the UK.
The Duke of Sussex co-founded the charity Sentebale, which supports young people with HIV and Aids.
He also helped move hundreds of African elephants in Malawi in 2016 as part of a project organised by African Parks.
In his memoir 'Spare', Prince Harry accused William of physically attacking him, pushing him into a dog bowl during a dispute over Meghan.
Harry also claimed in 'Spare' that William and Kate encouraged him to wear a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party in 2005 and 'howled' with laughter upon seeing it.
The Sussexes claimed in their Netflix series that Kensington Palace lied to protect William when it issued a statement denying a story that he had bullied Harry out of the Royal Family.
Prince Harry recounted in 'Spare' that Charles pleaded with his sons during a tense meeting at Windsor just after Prince Philip's funeral, stating: 'Please, boys. Don't make my final years a misery.'
