When asked whether he is an African prince, Daryl Robert Harrison, an Ohio-born man who stands accused in an investment scheme told a federal jury: “Yes. It’s been validated.” Harrison said that was by virtue of a 2015 letter from an African king bestowing him with the title, “Prince Daryl Attipoe.”
But authorities say the royal title seems to be “honorary,” as it does not entitle Harrison to ascend to the throne, according to a defense witness who testified via video conference from Ghana, Africa.
