Few within his own family and the palace thought it was a good idea, many had their own dramatic predictions about how disastrous a move to the US could be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, he&#8217;s setting himself up to fail,\u201d a very senior aid told me in early 2020. \u201cWithout all of <em>this<\/em>it&#8217;s impossible,\u201d they continued, gesturing to the walls of Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more: <\/strong><strong>&#8216;Ladies and gentlemen&#8230; if I can call you that!&#8217;  Camilla jokes about gender identity in speech<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"link caas-button collapse-button\" aria-label=\"\" title=\"\" data-ylk=\"elm:readmore;slk:Story continues\">Story continues<\/button><\/p>\n<p>As numerous others within the bubble of the family claimed at the time, Harry&#8217;s ambition to cut himself off from the publicly-funded Sovereign Grant and continue a life of service would be impossible without the risk of accepting money from the \u201cwrong\u201d places (a situation several family members know all too well).<\/p>\n<p>But two years later, and without a penny from the British taxpayer, Harry has created the life he has long dreamed about.  A life that, dare I say it, he couldn&#8217;t have achieved if he remained a working member of &#8216;The Firm&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The proof is in the pudding.  After co-founding the Archewell foundation with Meghan in 2020, Harry has become involved in a variety of issues that working royals famously steer clear of, including the fight against misinformation and disinformation, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, supporting the Stop Hate For Profit movement, and even candid conversations about racism.<\/p>\n<p>Harry&#8217;s global initiative for sustainable and ethical travel, Travalyst, is currently moving out of its pilot phase and already helping customers choose greener options while browsing flight listings on the likes of Google and Skyscanner.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div style=\"\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader noheight\"><img class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex hug Team United Kingdom competitor Lisa Johnston during the Invictus Games athletics events in the Athletics Park, at Zuiderpark the Hague, Netherlands.
