Prince Harry has quietly stepped back into the global spotlight, choosing Shanghai as his latest stage. At the Trip.com Group’s Envision 2025 event, he spoke passionately about Travalyst, the non-profit he founded to transform travel into a force for good. While headlines back home obsess over Meghan Markle’s Netflix renewal, Harry’s focus in Shanghai was squarely on driving sustainability and fairness in tourism.
His keynote address in front of hundreds of travel leaders signaled a renewed push for Travalyst’s mission. He stressed the need for the industry to “reaffirm its commitment to being a force for good.” His words didn’t just land as a personal philosophy. They carried the weight of a global movement.
A Vision of Fair Travel
The event’s timing couldn’t have been more relevant. Tourism is racing to recover from years of pandemic-driven disruption. Prince Harry’s push for fair and eco-friendly travel taps into a growing demand among travelers and businesses alike.
During his visit, Harry met with Ms. Tapanee Kiatpaiboon, the Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Their conversation centered on building fair systems in tourism, grounded in the “PASS” conceptual framework. This model balances environmental care with economic fairness, reflecting a global consensus that the travel industry must evolve.
Travalyst, launched in 2019 with partners like Booking.com and TripAdvisor, has always aimed to move beyond slogans. It has focused on shifting the entire tourism chain—hotels, airlines, and experiences—toward real sustainability. Harry’s presence in Shanghai confirmed that commitment. It also reinforced Travalyst’s growing presence in Asia, a region primed for change as tourism booms again.
Meghan’s Spotlight and the Sussex Split Rumours
While Harry’s trip showed his commitment to global citizenship, most of the British media chose to fixate elsewhere. Speculation swirled about Meghan’s Netflix deal and the idea of a “professional split” from Harry.
Some media ran with claims from anonymous Netflix insiders, insisting Ted Sarandos is “a massive fan of Meghan’s brand.” This news feels a bit redundant, given that Sarandos has already publicly praised Meghan, telling reporters, “People are fascinated with Meghan Markle. She and Harry are overly dismissed.”
The tabloids seem to be bracing their readers for the inevitable news that Netflix will renew its partnership with the Sussexes, particularly Meghan, though she had already confirmed it herself earlier this year. Her As Ever video launch made it clear: Netflix is part of her ongoing journey. As Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos has already said, “Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture.” So it was always inevitable that Netflix would renew its deals with the Sussexes. No matter how much the media tries to downplay their success, bigger projects from the Sussexes are coming. The tabloids know it. They’re just trying to soften the blow for their readers while feeding them a steady diet of disinformation.

The Real Narrative Taking Shape
The endless media obsession with Harry and Meghan’s personal dynamic misses the real story: two partners building distinct but interconnected brands that have nothing to do with tabloid gossip. Harry’s trip to Shanghai is proof enough. The same so-called insiders who claim to know everything about the Sussexes didn’t even know he was in China. They didn’t see it coming—or maybe they did, but they’d rather distract as usual. It’s telling, really, when the same outlets pumping out fluff pieces about Prince William’s lackluster work schedule call Harry and Meghan’s global work irrelevant.
The tabloids’ endless chatter about “insiders” is just that—blather. They’re not privy to the Sussexes’ real plans. They find out when we all do. The British tabloids aren’t part of Harry and Meghan’s lives anymore. The truth is that the only “sources” these papers rely on are their own imaginations. And let’s be honest: they’re proven liars.

Harry and Meghan moved on years a ago, living their life, focusing on their various projects and raising their family. The British media and their trolls are stuck in time warp, rinse and repeat same narratives against them. The public are seeing through it and thankfully the tide is turning slowly I know. But it’s nice to see many people now questioning what is it that they have done to receive so much hate?? Esp in comparison to other members of that family prince Andrew’s involvement with a sex trafficker, king charles with the cash for influence, questions around the money from the duchy that William now controls, his tenants living in mould and rodent infected properties that do not comply with tenancy standards. Ducesss of Essex having her security team run over and kill a grandmother there being no accountability till this day, plus more that the british media do not want to touch. Yet Harry and Meghan are the problem 🤦♀️🤦♀️
