Prince Harry has made his first remarks since he resigned from his post at the charity he co-founded, Sentebale.
Hello! Magazine reports that Prince Harry filmed and released a video of himself discussing the success of Travalyst, another non-profit organization he co-founded in 2019. However, the Duke of Sussex didn't mention anything about the turmoil happening inside his former passion project.
Travalyst is an organization that works with travel-related companies like Booking.com, Trip.com Trip Advisor, and Visa to make traveling around the world a more sustainable practice.
In his video, Prince Harry said he, "wanted to harness travel's power and potential to help create a more resilient world" when he started Travalyst. According to the Duke, the organization has accomplished its mission thus far.
"We've worked directly with destinations and local businesses to learn how we can help them on their sustainability journey," Harry continued. However, the royal also said that there's "still much more to be done to protect the people and places that we all depend on."
Continuing to serve the public despite an unfortunate development
Prince Harry's new video is a sign that he will continue to serve the public despite the setback he just experienced with Sentebale. Much like his wife, Meghan, Harry keeps himself busy with multiple projects and business ventures. However, I'd expect that he is extremely disappointed by what's been going on in he and Prince Seeiso's brainchild.
According to Hello! Magazine, Dr. Sophie Chandauka released her own statement after Sentebale's Board of Trustees resigned in protest of her actions.
In her response, Chandauka claimed that "the Duke tried to 'eject' her through 'bullying' and 'harassment.'"
However, sources close to Prince Harry, Prince Seeiso, and the Board of Trustees claim that Chandauka's remarks are a "publicity stunt."
It appears that Sentebale's problems will not be solved anytime soon. This is unfortunate, but Travalyst's existence proves that Prince Harry will always have access to the instruments needed to make the world a better place.
Making global travel a sustainable activity is an immense goal in itself. Also, Travalyst's currently partners with some of the travel sector's biggest names. So, while Prince Harry definitely has his work cut out for him, he should be able to distract himself while the events surrounding Sentebale play out.
Either way, the emotions surrounding the situation are still fresh. Eventually, Prince Harry will have to make a comment; but it appears that time isn't now.
