In January 2022, Harry’s legal representatives argued: “The U.K. will always be Prince Harry’s home and a country he wants his wife and children to be safe in. With the lack of police protection, comes too great a personal risk. Prince Harry hopes that his petition-after close to two years of pleas for security in the U.K.-will resolve this situation.”

Prince Harry has openly shared his feelings of being at home in the US, telling NBC: “Home for me, now, for the time being, is in the States. And it really feels that way, as well. We’ve been welcomed with open arms and have got such a great community up in Santa Barbara.”

Despite these sentiments, he suffered a blow on Monday when a judicial spokesperson revealed that Harry’s initial attempt to appeal a decision was unsuccessful. However, he still has the option to take his case directly to the Court of Appeal.

In a surprise move, Prince Harry popped up at the annual general meeting of Travalyst, the sustainable travel initiative he founded. Addressing the travel industry via video link from Montecito, he urged them to better support local communities, saying: “Travel and tourism rely on destinations, held together by communities, without which we have nowhere to travel to. Communities are the beating heart of travel, and we must do better by the people who are the custodians of the places we visit.”

Despite some controversy, Prince Harry’s involvement with the eco-conscious travel project Travalyst remains steadfast. Launched in 2019, the London-based non-profit aims to transform the travel industry by collaborating with giants such as TripAdvisor and Skyscanner to promote sustainability.

However, there was a noticeable omission of Prince Harry’s name during a significant update last year when Travalyst moved out of its “pilot phase” and introduced a new board featuring five individuals with exceptional expertise. Furthermore, press releases have relegated his mention to the “about us” section, a downgrade from previous years where his role was highlighted at the forefront.

Despite his absence from the updated board announcement, Prince Harry’s dedication to the project remains unchanged. Travalyst CEO Sally Davey confirmed this in a statement, saying: ” Prince Harry is the founder of Travalyst and remains an invaluable part of this organisation. His role has not changed in any way, and he is regularly involved in strategic discussions and decisions alongside our partners and board.”
