Service and charitable initiatives
He co-founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 and created the inaugural Invictus Games in London in 2014. The Invictus Games Foundation identifies him as its founder and patron. He and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, later co-founded The Archewell Foundation in 2020. His historical status as a Sentebale co-founder remains established, although both founding patrons resigned following a governance dispute reported by the Charity Commission in 2025.

Additional verified details
Current context
- His official peerage titles are Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel.
- He and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are not working members of the Royal Family. The Royal Family website records that they stepped back as working members in 2020 and that Buckingham Palace confirmed in February 2021 that they would not return to working royal roles.
- The Charity Commission reported that the Sentebale governance dispute culminated in the resignation of trustees and both founding patrons. This supports that he was no longer serving as a Sentebale founding patron following the 2025 dispute, but does not alter his historical status as a co-founder.
- African Parks announced that Prince Harry will conclude his Board of Directors tenure on 30 September 2026. As of 22 August 2026, the announced change had not yet taken effect.
- A 2026 Travalyst publication referred to him as the organization's founder. The source confirms founder status, not a specific current executive or board title.
