Prince Harry has another new job, joining a top US think tank to study and fight misinformation and disinformation in the US, CNN reported.
Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is to join the nonprofit Aspen Institute's new Commission on Information Disorder in a six-month study, CNN said.
He is to be a commissioner for the study, alongside 14 others including former Texas GOP Rep. Will Hurd and Sue Gordon, the former principal deputy director of national intelligence.
There will also be three co-chairs, which include the journalist Katie Couric, Color of Change president Rashad Robinson, and Chris Krebs, a top cybersecurity official who was fired by then-President Donald Trump last year.
Insider has contacted the Aspen Institute for comment.
The news comes after Harry was announced as Chief Impact Officer for San Francisco-based mental health and coaching startup BetterUp. He said he had previously used the app, and has previously been vocal about his mental health.
Harry said in a statement about his new Aspen Institute role, per CNN: "As I've said, the experience of today's digital world has us inundated with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as individuals as well as societies to think clearly and truly understand the world we live in."
"It's my belief that this is a humanitarian issue," he said, "and as such, it demands a multi-stakeholder response from advocacy voices, members of the media, academic researchers, and both government and civil society leaders."
"I'm eager to join this new Aspen commission and look forward to working on a solution-oriented approach to the information disorder crisis."
Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, announced that they would step back as senior royals in January 2020.
They now live in the US, and have secured a roster of roles including content creation partnerships with Netflix and Spotify.
Harry said he was financially cut off from the royal family and living off an inheritance provided by his late mother Princess Diana.
