On Monday, the Duke of Sussex was seen in Shanghai at an event in support of his environmental initiative Travalyst, which he founded in 2019 – a year before quitting royal life in 2020.
The prince spoke at the Trip.com Group’s Envision 2025 Summit and hosted the Travalyst Executive Summit on Monday.
He gave a speech in which he urged the Asia-Pacific travel industry to support sustainable travel and tourism – something his father King Charles, 76, would be passionate about.
The prince said: “Climate change isn’t just an environmental challenge – it’s a critical business emergency, costing the global economy $143 billion dollars annually. Now is the moment for the industry to reaffirm its commitment to being a force for good.”
He continued: “Challenges will undoubtedly rise, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life, it’s that meaningful change never comes easily. The true measure of our commitment is how we respond when the path becomes difficult. We must never give up.”
Harry is not believed to have been accompanied by his wife Meghan on the trip. Instead, it is believed that the duchess is staying at the family’s Californian home with their two children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, three.
The prince’s trip to China also coincides with his father King Charles’ trip to Canada, with the monarch having landed in Ottawa with Queen Camilla, 77, yesterday.
Harry claimed earlier this month that his father “won’t speak” to him.
