He will not be responsible for any of the employees but will be expected to appear at the special company events. Harry will also be expected to attend the meetings at San Francisco after the COVID restrictions have been lifted.
The Duke of Sussex while talking about taking up this job said that he intends to make an impact on people’s live. He added that proactive training helps to provide a number of possibilities for personal development and all-round better life. Prince Harry added that this is not about what is wrong with them but what has happened to them over the course of life.
