Who is Prince Harry’s Real Father?
Outrage as Comedians Mock Harry's DNA Testing in Shocking Jokes
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been making waves with their innovative projects ever since they left the UK and settled in California two years ago.
Prince Harry's most recent endeavor, the Sustainable Travel Organization Travelist, came under fire during a recent episode of Have You Been Paying Attention?
Australian comedians on the panel took aim at an advertisement for Travelist featuring Harry that aired on New Zealand television last week.
During the show, quizmaster Tom Gleisner quizzed the panel on what Prince Harry was promoting in the ad.
Ed Carverley was quick to respond with a cutting remark about Harry using his royal status to earn money in America, joking about an eBay sell-off of Prince Philip's belongings.
Kitty Flanagan followed with a cheeky comment about the rumors surrounding Harry's paternity, while Anne Edmonds correctly identified that Harry was actually promoting his eco-travel business.
The advertisement, which also starred Kiwi actors Dave Fain and Rene Owen, showcased the first initiative launched in New Zealand for Harry's non-profit Travelist organization.
Founded in 2019, Travelist focuses on eco-friendly travel, where travelers are rated based on their sustainability practices rather than the destinations they visit.
New Zealanders can now use a rating tool on the Travelist website to encourage sustainable travel choices.
Meanwhile, Piers Morgan criticized Harry's eco-travel efforts, questioning his authenticity and branding his commercial for Travelist as cringeworthy.
Morgan's scathing remarks highlighted what he perceived as Harry's lack of credibility in promoting sustainable tourism through his organization.
The commercial featured Harry wearing a “Girl Dad” t-shirt, jogging through the woods before being confronted by eco-tourism agents about a discarded lollipop wrapper from a 2018 royal tour.
Despite the humor in the commercial, critics like Morgan found fault with Harry's portrayal and questioned the authenticity of his environmental efforts.
This isn't the first time Harry's paternity has been ridiculed on the show.
In a previous episode, there were jokes about Princess Diana's lover James Hewitt being Harry's biological father, a claim that has been debunked.
The ongoing rumors and speculation surrounding Harry's paternity have persisted over the years, despite clear evidence disproving any connections to Hewitt.
Hewitt, a former cavalry officer, has consistently denied being Harry's real father, citing the timeline of his relationship with Diana as proof of the falsehood of the claims.
The rumors surrounding Harry's paternity have been fueled by tabloid speculation and sensationalism, with Hewitt expressing sympathy for the prince's predicament in dealing with the persistent rumors.
Princess Diana's affair with Hewitt began in the mid-1980s, at a time when rumors swirled about her husband Prince Charles' relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles.
Despite the tumultuous nature of their respective relationships, Hewitt maintains that he is not Harry's biological father and continues to lead a reclusive life in Devon.
As the controversy surrounding Harry's paternity and his eco-travel initiatives continues to attract attention, the royal remains focused on promoting sustainable travel practices through Travelist.
Despite the criticism and mockery from comedians and pundits alike, Harry's commitment to environmental conservation and responsible tourism remains unwavering.
