• Prince Harry is joining a top US think tank to study misinformation and disinformation in the US.

• He recently joined a mental-health startup and has content-creation deals with Netflix and Spotify.

Prince Harry has another new job, joining a top US think tank to study and fight misinformation and disinformation.

Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is to join the nonprofit Aspen Institute's new Commission on Information Disorder in an "intensive" six-month study, per a Wednesday statement.

He is to be a commissioner for the study, alongside 14 others, including former GOP Rep. Will Hurd of Texas and Sue Gordon, the former principal deputy director of national intelligence.

The commission will also have three cochairs, the Aspen Institute said. They are the journalist Katie Couric; the Color of Change president, Rashad Robinson; and Chris Krebs, the former head of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Krebs, whose government role included protecting the 2020 election, was fired by President Donald Trump in November after he struck down false election-fraud theories.

Harry's role at the Aspen Institute will be part time and will involve regular meetings, the institute said.

On Tuesday, Harry was announced as chief impact officer for the San Francisco-based mental-health and coaching startup BetterUp. He has been vocal about his mental health and has said he previously used the app.

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, the Duchess of Sussex, announced they would step back as senior members of the royal family in January 2020. Last month, Buckingham Palace announced that the couple would not be returning to their royal roles.

Harry and Meghan now live in the US and have secured a roster of roles including content-creation partnerships with Netflix and Spotify. They also have a nonprofit called the Archewell Foundation.

In a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey aired earlier this month, Harry said he was financially cut off from the royal family and was living off an inheritance provided by his late mother, Diana.

He has been an outspoken critic of the media in the UK over how outlets covered his mother and how they treated Meghan.
