Is Prince Harry About to Lose His Job at BetterUp, Putting His Visa at Risk?
Prince Harry’s role at BetterUp, the mental health company he works for, has come under scrutiny. And, according to recent reports, BetterUp has been dealing with major backlash, with many critics questioning Harry’s involvement and the company's future.
BetterUp, where Prince Harry serves as the Chief Impact Officer, has faced significant criticism in recent years. The company has recently slashed its prices by 30% on its counseling services, a move that many see as a desperate attempt to improve its financial situation after facing harsh criticism from former employees. These ex-staffers have not held back, calling the company a “toxic boys' club” and pointing out major issues within the workplace.
The criticism isn’t just about internal culture; former staffers have also questioned Harry’s role at the company. According to multiple reports, employees have been left wondering what Harry actually does at BetterUp. How is it possible for the company to justify his reported seven-figure salary when no one seems to know what he's contributing?
In an email sent to clients, BetterUp offered a "Best Deal of the Year," promoting 30% off all plans to "jumpstart your growth journey" with personal coaching. They also added, “We never do this,” which clearly shows they're trying to increase business during a tough time. But the price cut might also be an indication of financial struggles within the company. If BetterUp is slashing prices to boost revenue, that might point to a serious lack of customers—and a potential need for more layoffs.
This leads to the possibility that Prince Harry could be let go to help reduce costs. If BetterUp is indeed struggling, they could be considering cutting his high salary as part of an effort to save money. This would have serious implications for Harry, particularly regarding his visa status.
Here’s where things get tricky. If Prince Harry does lose his job at BetterUp, his visa could be at risk. As a foreign national living in the U.S., Harry likely holds an employment-based visa. For most employment-based visas, a legitimate job offer from a U.S. employer is required to maintain the visa. If Harry loses his job, it would raise questions about his legal right to remain in the country.
According to the U.S. Embassy and consulate's guidelines on employment-based immigration, an employment visa is tied directly to a specific job offer. Without a bona fide job to back it up, Harry’s visa could be in jeopardy. In other words, if BetterUp lets him go, he could lose his visa and face issues regarding his stay in the United States.
On social media, reactions have been mixed. One user, @duess_salty, humorously pointed out how tight things might get for Harry if he loses his job. Meanwhile, another Twitter user, @royy_sage, shared their concerns about BetterUp's situation and how it might impact Harry’s future. The speculation is growing, and fans are divided on what might happen next.
So, is Harry really on the verge of losing his job? If BetterUp’s financial difficulties continue, this scenario seems increasingly possible. But it’s still unclear if the company will make such drastic moves.
As always, we’ll have to wait and see how things unfold. But if Harry does lose his position, it could have serious consequences, both professionally and personally, as his visa could be at risk.
