The Duke Of Sussex Prince Harry 'Elevated' To THIS Prestigious New Role!

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has much to smile about as he was recently promoted to a new role.

According to a report, Harry has been appointed as a member of the Board of Directors for African Parks Network, South Africa.

This is a non-profit organization Harry joined in 2016 and has worked tirelessly for, hence his prestigious new position as a board member.

Years of hard work and dedication to service have paid off for the beloved Duke of Sussex.

It was recently announced in a bio update that Prince Harry has been "elevated" to the position of board member of the African Parks Network in South Africa, per People magazine.

After joining the non-profit conservation group in 2016, Harry became the president the following year and has since overseen several conservation projects across Africa.

His biography reads, "Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex is a humanitarian, military veteran, mental wellness advocate, and environmentalist. The duke has dedicated his life's work to advancing causes that he is passionate about, and that bring about permanent change for people and places."

It continues, "For over two decades, he has taken a deep personal interest in frontline conservation projects across Africa that work to protect the region’s natural resources and wildlife, for the benefit of local communities."

The updated part of the bio highlights his new role, stating, "In 2023, after serving six years as President, he was elevated to an officially appointed member of the Board of Directors, the governing body of the organisation."

In the updated version of Harry's biography, the organization made sure to highlight the prince's important position as a family man by concluding with a closing statement that references his wife and two kids. 

The bio now reads, "Prince Harry resides in California with his wife Meghan, and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet." This change comes because Harry had not married Meghan Markle or had his children when he joined the organization in 2016.

Harry first partnered with the African Parks Network to help launch an elephant conservation project in Malawi. The following year, the duke became president of the organization and launched several other programs during his tenure.

In August 2022, Harry co-hosted a group of U.S. officials, philanthropists, and conservationists on a tour of protected wildlife and nature preserves managed by African Parks in Mozambique, Zambia, and Rwanda.

Harry has a long history of conservation works in Africa, a lot of which he has done through his partnership with African Parks.

In a 2021 video clip marking Earth Day, the duke took the opportunity to pay tribute to his grandfather, Prince Philip, who had just died and was a known "champion" of conservation.

Harry said at the time, "As we now begin to move towards an era of global recovery and regeneration, it's critical that we continue to look at strengthening and protecting of biodiversity, not just as a value we hold, but as a way of life."

He continued, per the Daily Mail, "On this Earth Day, I reflect on generations of conservation champions, including my late grandfather, and feel proud and energized to continue doing my part in this legacy. This year especially, I join the African Parks team and communities around the world in shared dedication to our environment and collective wellbeing."

Since stepping down as a senior royal member along with his wife, Meghan, Harry has had a very strained relationship with his father, King Charles III, and other members of the royal family.

Things only worsened after Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they discussed alleged mistreatment by the royal family.

The couple's docuseries for Netflix, titled "Harry and Meghan," also further drove a wedge between them and the royal family. 

But it did not end there as Harry released his memoir, "Spare," shortly after, filled with bombshell revelations about his relationship with his father, brother Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.

Now, there are rumors circulating that Meghan also has plans to write a memoir, but the Duchess of Sussex has yet to make an official announcement.
