When Prince Harry was unveiled as ‘chief impact officer’ at a tech start-up in California, many people were baffled. What did his job title mean? Well, now we know: his mission is to spout meaningless platitudes for wads of cash.
Among the pearls of wisdom dished out by Harry in his appearance on a virtual panel for mental health awareness company BetterUp, was that: ‘Mental fitness is the pinnacle’. We also learned that, when things get busy, ‘self care is the first thing that drops away.’
Harry’s solution? Firms should ‘give everyone time to focus on themselves’. Introduced by BetterUp’s boss Alexi Robichaux as ‘one of the bravest advocates for mental fitness’, the Duke’s insights into the topic were, as ever, eagerly awaited by his admirers.
Such things are relatively easy for a multimillionaire who showily abandoned his own responsibilities two years ago to say.
Unfortunately, nothing that the chief impact officer said managed to transcend banality.
