Explained simply
Prince Harry is the younger son of King Charles III and a member of the British royal family. He and his wife, Meghan, have stepped back from royal duties and carry out public and charitable work independently.
Travalyst is an initiative founded by Harry that works with travel companies on making tourism more sustainable. Tourism can bring jobs and income, but it can also put pressure on local communities and natural places.
Harry’s visit to Brussels with Meghan is part of their public work on issues including children’s online safety. Their activities there are separate from his role in the royal family.
