Harry Jokes About Phones During Surprise London Speech

At the Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards, held at the Old Royal Naval College, Harry paused as he began his keynote and remarked that all he could see were phones. Smiling, he pointed out that the previous speaker had just addressed the subject of filming. Audience members laughed.

Harry said he founded Travalyst in 2019 because the travel industry has a responsibility and a business interest in protecting the places it depends on. He later joined award winners from Germany, named the most desirable country for sustainability. He said tourism must work for the people who live in destinations, and that cooperation could help nature and communities thrive while travel continues to bring prosperity and connection.

Harry and Meghan are scheduled to travel to Brussels on November 10 for the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial, an installation honoring children who died after online harm. They are expected to speak about children's digital safety, and Harry is due to join a panel discussion on creating an online world that supports children.

Harry was also in New York earlier in the week for meetings, with his representative saying details of business opportunities and partnerships would come later. The Brussels appearance is expected to be the couple's first joint overseas trip since their move to England with their children. The planned visit comes amid allegations involving Meghan's estranged father, which she has said caused her deep distress; she has said she ended contact to protect her children.
