The Duke of Sussex is packing ’em in. Fresh off the back of him landing his first job in the private sector with a Silicon Valley startup comes the news he’s been hired by the daughter-in-law of media mogul Rupert Murdoch to fight the spread of misinformation. The 36-year-old prince joins Kathryn Murdoch, wife of Murdoch’s son James, and 14 others – including American journalist Katie Couric and Color of Change president Rashad Robinson – as a celebrity commissioner at the Aspen Institute’s new Commission on Information Disorder. Last year it was shamed after it was revealed its bosses accepted more than $8 million in federal small-business funds during the pandemic – despite having a board of billionaire trustees. The current commission is being funded by controversial American billionaire Craig Newmark (68), founder of the ad website Craigslist.
