The move is thought to be part of Harry and Meghan’s plan to begin “professionally separating” — a phrase first mentioned late last year to describe their intention to pursue individual projects instead of doing everything as a team.

Their new strategy began with joint tours earlier in 2024, including trips to Colombia and Nigeria. But the next phase involves each of them focusing on building their own personal brands in the U.S., moving away from the image of a united power couple.

With that direction in mind, Harry arrived in China today — his first solo trip abroad since news of their “professional separation” made headlines. He attended the Envision 2025 Global Partner Conference in Shanghai.

There, the Duke of Sussex — who recently helped launch Travalyst, an initiative that encourages eco-conscious travel — reportedly delivered a speech about the importance of sustainable tourism.

He began by highlighting the travel industry’s duty to meet climate goals by 2030, including efforts to keep global warming below 1.5°C and to ensure greenhouse gas emissions peak before 2025.

“Climate change isn’t just about the environment,” he said, according to The Sun. “It’s a serious crisis for businesses too, draining $143 billion from the global economy every year.

“This is the time for the industry to stand up and show it’s committed to making a positive impact. The road ahead won’t be easy — but if there’s one thing life has taught me, it’s that real change never comes without effort.”

He went on to say, “What truly defines our dedication is how we act when things get tough.

We must keep going — giving up is not an option.”
