Prince Harry's coming to town! But despite what Us Magazine might suggest about his big arrival during Climate Week as a key player for the United Nations General Assembly, the reality is far less impressive. According to the official UN website, Harry is as involved in Climate Week as a vegan in a steakhouse. Despite his team’s grand announcements, he's not listed as a speaker, and his Archwell Foundation isn't featured as a sponsor or partner.
Harry’s camp insists his trip is about advancing various patronages and philanthropic initiatives. He’s apparently set to meet with nonprofits like African Parks, The Halo Trust, The Diana Award, and Travelist. How touching. But let’s be honest: this looks like another attempt by Harry to attach himself to a high-profile event and bask in the limelight.
The timing of Harry’s visit is also noteworthy. It coincides with the Earthshot Prize reveal, where Prince William will be in New York in September. Is it a coincidence or a strategic move by Harry to appear in the same city as his brother and generate some sibling rivalry drama for media attention?
It seems like Harry’s trip is less about climate action and more about one-upmanship. His PR team’s decision to schedule Harry’s visit around William’s Earthshot appearance seems like a desperate attempt to stay relevant. If stalking your brother and creating a media showdown is your plan, then that’s exactly what Harry seems to be doing.
Adding to the absurdity, Harry’s itinerary includes a visit to African Parks, an organization currently under scrutiny for serious allegations involving land disputes and violence against African communities. It raises the question: will Harry ignore these grave issues for a photo op? After all, why address real concerns when you can focus on taking cheap shots at your sibling?
Since leaving the royal family, Harry's actual contributions to the organizations he claims to support have been minimal. He’s not fundraising, actively participating, or making any significant impact. His antics, including the failed cooking show and unfulfilled promises, further undermine his credibility.
In short, Harry’s New York adventure appears to be a poorly disguised attempt at self-promotion. His plan seems to involve showing up, hoping for a confrontation with William, and filling headlines with the drama of being ignored. If he's lucky, he might even garner some sympathy from the public. However, this stunt only highlights how far Harry will go to chase the spotlight, even if it means stepping on his own family in the process.
