Prince Harryis proud to be a girl dad!
The Duke of Sussex, 37, who is father todaughter Lilibet,11 months, lovingly wears a grey T-shirt bearing the words “Girl Dad” in a new tongue-in-cheek video for his eco-travel initiative,Travalyst.
“I don’t think it was confusing,” replies Harry. “It was an incredible time. We had an amazing time in New Zealand. It’s beautiful.”
Harry ultimately receives a rating of 3 out of 5 stars for the eco-footprint of his trip to New Zealand, which he visited with Meghan as part of the couple’s 16-dayroyal tourof Australia and New Zealand following their2018 wedding at Windsor Castle. Yet it doesn’t come without a few comedy surprises along the way.

“And you did not keep the tap (faucet) running while brushing your teeth.”
To this, Harry replies “I never do… Hang on a second. How do you know that? How do you know that? That’s really weird.”

On Monday Harry also appeared onMāori Televisionin New Zealand to reveal the serious meaning behind the comedy sketch. Speaking to the cameras he announced the launch of a Travalysttrip rating initiativethat he hopes will encourage Kiwi travelers to put sustainability at the heart of their holidays.
This features a simple quiz based on the Maori concept of Tiaki, which is a commitment to care for local people, their environment, and their culture wherever you travel.
“As travel continues to come back, we have an opportunity and a need to redefine the industry – for better, for good,” Harry says in astatementposted on the Travalyst website.

“In a world where we’re tasked with rating so many things, we’re now asking: what if your destination rated you? Starting in beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand, we’re launching our first campaign. There is a well-known Māori proverb: Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, ēngari he toa takitini (Success is not the work of an individual. But the work of many) – we invite you to be a part of our many.”
Harry will be undertaking some important traveling himself next month, when he heads to the U.K. forQueen Elizabeth’sPlatinum Jubilee celebrationswith Meghan, Lili, and sonArchie, 3.
