Prince Harry's team makes announcement about new honour: ‘We're excited'

Prince Harry continues to uphold the values that King Charles had instilled in his two boys from a young age about protecting the environment.

Both his sons, William and Harry, have taken their own paths to carry them in their work. The King would be proud to learn that one of Harry's initiative inspired by those same values earned a recognition.

The Duke of Sussex, who founded his not-for-profit travel organisation Travayst in 2019, has been shortlisted for another award.

It was confirmed on Monday that the company, which aims to make tourism more environmentally-friendly, has been nominated at the Skift IDEA Awards 2026 in the Travel Technology and Sustainability Tech category.
