Prince Harry Makes Surprise Trip to Shanghai and Tells Crowd a Major Lesson He's Learned in His Life
Prince Harry made a surprise trip to Shanghai, China to both give a keynote speech and host an executive summit.
The Duke of Sussex traveled to Shanghai in support of his environmental initiative Travalyst, which he founded in 2019.
Travalyst—which just celebrated its five-year anniversary last year—exists to help promote and give resources for environmentally-conscious week after his and Meghan Markle's seventh wedding anniversary, Prince Harry traveled to Shanghai, China to give a keynote speech and host an executive summit.
The Duke of Sussex spoke at the Group's Envision 2025 Summit and hosted the Travalyst Executive Summit on May 26, according to a release sent to InStyle on Monday. In his speech at the event, Harry—who founded the nonprofit Travalyst in 2019 to help the world travel more sustainably—made a bold call to climate action, urging the Asia-Pacific travel industry to support sustainable travel and tourism.
Harry's speech came after the release of Travalyst's Five-Year Milestone Report, where the organization highlighted travelers' power to drive positive change. Along with Harry's speech, this week Travalyst also launched its first two-day Executive Summit with industry leaders and policymakers, which is the first in a global series to drive action in the industry.
'Climate change isn't just an environmental challenge—it's a critical business emergency, costing the global economy $143 billion annually,' Harry said in his remarks. 'Now is the moment for the industry to reaffirm its commitment to being a force for good. 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,' he said. 'We must never give up.'
Since its formation in 2019, Travalyst has grown from five partners to 13, the release added, representing a combined market value of over $3 trillion.
As Harry traveled to Shanghai, his wife Meghan and daughter Princess Lilibet were seen taking part in some mother-daughter beekeeping on May 25, which Meghan posted to her Instagram Story set to the tune of The Archies' hit 'Sugar, Sugar.'
