President Biden’s stimulus splurge is clearly working wonders, given the new found desire of American companies to stuff dollars into Prince Harry’s pockets. Following the news yesterday that the exiled royal would be joining billion dollar tech start up BetterUp, America’s answer to George Osborne has now bagged himself a second gig alongside existing million dollar content deals with Netflix and Spotify.
The new role will be at international nonprofit the Aspen Institute, where he will serve on the Orwell-esque ‘Commission on Information Disorder’. Prince Harry – or should we call him Commissioner Harry – will join 14 others and three co-chairs to hold a six-month study on how inaccurate information spreads across the country. In a statement Harry said he was moved to take the role to find a ‘solution-oriented approach to this information disorder crisis’ caused by modern media:
‘As I’ve said, the experience of today’s digital world has us inundated with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as individuals as well as societies to think clearly and truly understand the world we live in.
