Prince Harry appears to be losing another major part of his life outside the royal family, as a well-known commentator claims his world is "collapsing" following a fresh announcement from a charity he has served for a decade.
African Parks, the conservation organization Harry has been closely tied to since 2016, confirmed a major shake-up of its Board of Directors. Two new members, Justice Isaac Lenaola and Alice Ruhweza, are joining the board, while the charity thanked Harry for his long service as his time with the group comes to an end.
In its statement, the organization noted that Harry's connection with African Parks began in Malawi back in July 2016, when he took part in one of the biggest elephant relocation projects ever carried out. He later went on to serve as President of the charity for six years before shifting into a seat on the Board of Directors.
Now, after ten years, that chapter is closing. Harry is stepping away from the board entirely, and the timing is notable — he is expected to relocate to the UK with his family within days.
Reacting to the news, royal commentator Dan Wootton did not hold back. He wrote on social media that Harry's world is falling apart, pointing out that the Duke is now completely out at African Parks, a charity that has faced serious allegations of human rights abuses under his leadership.
Wootton went further, arguing that Britain has no need for Harry and shouldn't be funding him either, claiming the vast majority of the British public — around 98 percent, according to him — feel the same way.
The charity itself struck a far more grateful and diplomatic tone, framing the change as a natural "governance refresh" rather than a fallout, and thanking Harry for a decade of commitment to elephant conservation and wildlife protection across Africa.
Still, the contrast between the charity's polite farewell and the royal expert's blunt commentary has fueled fresh speculation about how Harry's public standing is shifting just as he prepares to return to British soil.
