Prince Harry Requests to Be Called Just 'Harry' at First Event in UK Since Moving to Canada

Prince Harry speaks at a sustainable tourism summit at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Wednesday (February 26) in Edinburgh, Scotland.

While being introduced at the conference, host Ayesha Hazarika told delegates, “He’s made it clear that we are all just to call him Harry. So ladies and gentlemen, please give a big, warm, Scottish welcome to Harry.” This is noteworthy given the big news that emerged over the weekend.

This event was in conjunction with his sustainable tourism project, Travalyst. The mission of the project is as follows: “The number of people around the world taking international trips has more than doubled since 2000, and is set to increase by the same number again by 2030*. As more and more people travel, so too increases the impact on the environment and local communities – and the opportunities to do good with each trip we take.”

Prince Harry spoke about the effects of travel on the environment at the event, and you can watch a video of his speech.

Meghan Markle was reportedly back at home in Canada while Prince Harry made the trip over, on a commercial jet. The pair are slated to be in the UK for several days soon.
