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."

Prince Harry to be 'even angrier' if latest move backfires warns expert
Prince Harry has been relatively quiet in recent weeks as wife Meghan Markle continues to bask in the limelight launching her As Ever business - but that could all be about to change. Prince Harry could potentially ignite a fresh Royal controversy with his prospective career shift, warns an expert. While Meghan has been enjoying the spotlight with the launch of her As Ever venture, Harry seems to have taken a more subdued role as the couple appear to be exploring separate career trajectories. However, rumours suggest that this could soon change as Harry seeks a 'new purpose'. Reports indicate that Harry might be launching his own commercial enterprise in the coming months, alongside focusing on his Invictus Games Foundation. Details about the potential venture remain under wraps, and figuring it out will be one of the first tasks for the Sussexes' newly assembled advisory team. But Jennie Bond, former BBC Royal correspondent, has warned that if Harry chooses to pursue a profit-making path, it could be fraught with challenges. 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. "So is he content for his wife to be the breadwinner while he concentrates on the children and charity work? There's nothing wrong with that but he might feel he needs to pursue commercial ventures too.", reports the Mirror. Prince Harry has been in the spotlight recently, focusing on his philanthropic efforts. This month, he was seen championing the Diana Award at an event in Las Vegas. Just this week, he made a surprise appearance at a travel conference in Shanghai, where he delivered a speech on sustainable travel through his organisation Travalyst. Jennie commented further: "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 journey to China was his inaugural visit and coincided with King Charles's arrival in Canada for a significant tour.

Prince Harry to be 'even angrier in new royal row' if latest move goes wrong
With Meghan Markle pressing ahead with her As Ever lifestyle brand, reports have suggested Prince Harry could soon follow in her footsteps with his own commercial brand - but one expert has given him a warning Prince Harry could spark a brand new royal row with his potential new career move, according to an expert. While wife Meghan has basked in the limelight by pressing ahead with the launch of her As Ever business, the same can't be said for her husband, who appears to have taken a back seat after the couple seems to have decided to pursue different career paths. However, reports have suggested that all that could be set to change as he attempts to find a 'new purpose'. It is reported that Harry could be launching his own commercial venture in the next few months, while also concentrating on his Invictus Games Foundation. There are no details so far on what the venture could be, which will be one of the first tasks for the Sussex's newly formed team of advisors. But former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has said that if Harry wants to follow a money-making route, it could prove very tricky. She told the Mirror: "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. "So is he content for his wife to be the breadwinner while he concentrates on the children and charity work? There's nothing wrong with that but he might feel he needs to pursue commercial ventures too." Prince Harry's recent appearances have seen him promote his charitable and non-profit causes. Earlier this month, he appeared at an event in Las Vegas to promote the Diana Award. While earlier this week, he unexpectedly turned up at a travel conference in Shanghai and gave a speech on sustainable travel in his role as co-founder of Travalyst. And Jennie added: "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 trip to China marked his first visit to the country and came on the same day his estranged father King Charles landed in Canada for a historic visit. But Jennie explained: "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.

Prince Harry Honors Mom Princess Diana in 1st Public Appearance Since Speaking Out on King Charles Rift
Prince Harry honored his late mom, Princess Diana, as he stepped out for the first time in public since claiming his father, King Charles III, won't speak to him. On Tuesday, May 6, the Duke of Sussex, 40, took part in a panel discussion to mark the launch of The Diana Award's 'Pledge to Invest' initiative in Las Vegas. The Diana Award was launched in memory of Princess Diana and is supported by both Harry and his estranged brother, Prince William, 42. Harry backed the new initiative, which aims to support young people achieve leadership roles in the workplace and work with employers to create new opportunities for them. 'Through The Diana Award, I've had the privilege of meeting young people who have turned adversity into action. That's not just inspiring — it's the kind of untapped potential we can't afford to overlook,' Harry said onstage. 'Far too many young people are locked out of leadership pipelines because we've failed to build truly inclusive and accessible pathways.' Prince Harry's Most Illuminating Quotes About His Relationship With King Charles III 'This generation isn't waiting for permission to lead — they are already doing it,' he continued. 'They bring emotional intelligence, social awareness and an honesty about mental health that previous generations struggled to express. What sets them apart isn't just their boldness, but their refusal to settle for the status quo. If we're serious about a better future, we need to stop underestimating them and start listening.' Harry was joined onstage by Dr. Tessy Ojo, the CEO of The Diana Award, and two young recipients of the Diana Legacy Award, Sikander 'Sonny' Khan and Christina Williams. (The award was established to recognize trailblazing humanitarians and social activists.) 'We're in an era now where we are looking for more companies to be serving the greater good — the majority, not the minority,' Harry told Khan and Williams, praising them for being great examples to young people. 'Every single young person has potential. From a younger generation standpoint, in an apathetic world, there's more empathy in this generation than I've ever seen before... It's the empathy, the authenticity, the truth, the honesty and the fearlessness. When they stand up for themselves and stand up in their communities, that is what we need. We need fearless leadership. So I tip my hat to both of you and what you represent.' Harry's appearance honoring his mom's legacy came just days after he spoke about his rift with his father in an explosive BBC News interview on Friday, May 2. Prince Harry and King Charles III's Ups and Downs Through the Years: A Timeline After losing an appeal to reinstate his government-funded security in the U.K., Harry said that Charles, 76, 'won't speak to me' amid the legal drama. 'I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore,' he said. 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has.' Prince Harry's 'Upsetting' Comments About King Charles' Cancer Likely Worsened Their Feud: Royal Expert Harry also said that the outcome of the legal battle was 'really quite sad' because he doesn't feel he can bring his family, Meghan Markle, 43, and kids Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, to the U.K. without protection. 'I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,' Harry declared on Friday. 'I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done.'

Prince Harry Spends Prince Archie's Birthday Honoring Princess Diana's Legacy After Bombshell BBC Interview
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Royal Family celebrated two big milestones on Tuesday, May 6, marking the second anniversary of King Charles III's coronation as well as Prince Archie's sixth birthday. The King and Queen unveiled their official coronation portraits to mark the occasion, while proud mom Meghan Markle shared an Instagram photo of little Archie on his golden birthday. For Prince Harry, the day also meant honoring a cause that's close to his heart. The Duke of Sussex traveled to Las Vegas to support the Diana Award, the only charity created in honor of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. Tuesday also marked the duke's first public appearance since his headline-making BBC interview last week, in which Harry discussed losing his appeal to reinstate his police protection in the U.K.—and his strained relationship with The King. Prince Harry joined the Diana Award's CEO, Tessy Ojo— along with two Diana Award winners, Sikander 'Sonny' Khan and Christina Williams—to launch the charity's Pledge to Invest youth leadership initiative. "This generation isn't waiting for permission to lead— they are already doing it," the Duke of Sussex said during the panel discussion. "They bring emotional intelligence, social awareness, and an honesty about mental health that previous generations struggled to express. What sets them apart isn't just their boldness, but their refusal to settle for the status quo." He also praised today's youth for having "more empathy" than he's "ever seen before," adding when the younger generation will "stand up for themselves and stand up in their communities, that is what we need." Last week, the Duke of Sussex spoke out after losing his years-long battle to reinstate his taxpayer-funded security in the U.K. In an official statement, Harry said he was "devastated" by the outcome of the case. He also told the BBC that his father, King Charles, "won't speak to me because of this security stuff." However, the duke expressed a wish to move on from the situation with the Royal Family, noting he did "not know how much longer" The King has to live. "I would love reconciliation with my family," Prince Harry said. "There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious."
