Prince Harry releases new environmental video as brothers duel over same cause

Prince Harry has released a new video addressing critical environmental and sustainability challenges, as part of his work with travel initiative Travalyst.

The video has been shared as part of London Climate Action Week 2026 (June 20-28) and pits him against brother Prince William, who has been busy spruiking his own environmental initiative, The Earthshot Prize, with ambassador Robert Irwin.

The Duke of Sussex began the video by saying: “Today, travel stands at a crossroads. It can be a catalyst for positive change, but also, a cause for environmental strain, driving emissions, overwhelming destinations, depleting the natural world it depends on.”

He then spoke about how “Travalyst is building something different”, outlining the organisations current initiatives which Harry said will help to “drive change”.

The royal ended the video by saying: “We have the power to change travel for good.”

Prince William and Prince Harry both continue their father King Charles’ conservation and environmental work thought their own organisations.

Earlier this week Prince William and Robert Irwin travelled to London’s Guildhall aboard an electric bus ahead of The Earthshot Prize Impact Assembly, where the Prince of Wales met with innovators, investors and leaders who are supporting the environmental initiative he founded in 2020.
