Harry to be 'even angrier in new royal row' if latest move goes wrong
Prince Harry's potential new career move could ignite a fresh Royal controversy, an expert has suggested. While Meghan has been enjoying the spotlight with the launch of her As Ever business, her husband seems to have taken a more subdued role as the couple appear to be pursuing separate career paths.
However, it is rumoured that this could change as Harry seeks a 'new purpose'. Reports suggest that Harry might be launching his own commercial venture in the coming months, alongside focusing on his Invictus Games Foundation.
Details about the potential venture remain undisclosed and will be one of the first tasks for the Sussex's newly assembled team of advisors. However, former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond has warned that if Harry chooses to pursue a profit-making path, it could be fraught with difficulties.
Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "Personally, I think this commercial route opens him up to all sorts of accusations of trading on his royal status which would make him an even angrier young man than at present. I think Harry is still trying to figure out where he goes from here. By normal standards, he's a very rich man, but life in Montecito doesn't come cheap, especially with all the security costs he deems necessary."
The question arises whether Prince Harry is content with Meghan being the main earner while he focuses on their children and charity work. Some might wonder if he feels compelled to also engage in commercial activities, reports the Mirror.
Prince Harry has been actively promoting his charitable endeavours in recent public appearances. He was spotted earlier this month at a Las Vegas event championing the Diana Award, and just this week, he made a surprise appearance at a travel conference in Shanghai, delivering a speech on sustainable travel as Travalyst's co-founder.
Jennie commented: "There's nothing wrong with being a stay-at-home dad and using his influence to help charities around the world. He's brilliant at interacting with people and at just being Harry. He should perhaps stick to what he's born to, trained for and truly good at."
Harry's visit to China coincided with his father King Charles's arrival in Canada for a significant tour, marking Harry's first time in China.
However, Jennie noted: "Fortunately it seems not to have overshadowed Charles and Camilla's trip to Canada. In fact, it seems to have made very little news at all. If the idea was to garner as much publicity for the cause as possible, it would seem to have fallen rather short.
"There was no advance information about it and not much of a splash when he was there. But he is clearly employed by Travalyst to make keynote speeches like this, and I'm sure he made a good job of it. The timing of the conference would have been coincidental to the King's trip to Canada, certainly not deliberate.
"However, the irony of flying across the world to promote sustainable, environmentally friendly travel is hard to ignore. Surely a video speech would have been more ethical?
"The same criticism could be lobbed at William flying around the world to host the Earthshot Awards but sometimes it just raises the profile in a way nothing else could. I'm not sure that Harry's presence did the same."
