Prince Harry stars in comedy skit to promote "green" travel venture
<p>Prince Harry has flexed his acting muscles as he stars in a comedy skit promoting his new "green" travel venture in New Zealand. </p>
<p>The Duke of Sussex's eco-tourism venture Travalyst, which he founded in 2019, has launched a new initiative to rate holidayers on their environmental credentials. </p>
<p>Travellers will also be able to choose their hotel based on how "green" the hotels and resorts are. </p>
<p>In the hilarious ad promoting the new move, Prince Harry is seen jogging through a park, wearing a t-shirt that says "Girl Dad", in honour of his daughter Lilibet. </p>
<p>The clip also features New Zealand actors Rhys Darby, Dave Fane and Rena Owen.</p>
<p>In the video, Harry is accosted by Darby, who plays a "rating agent", who accuses him of littering on a beach in Auckland during his and Meghan's royal tour in October 2018. </p>
<p>Darby explains that the country is trialling a system in which holiday destinations rate their visitors, giving Harry three stars out of five.</p>
<p>He gives the royal a positive review for only using one out of 12 provided towels, buying honey from local vendors and turning off the tap when he brushed his teeth.</p>
<p>When asked about his experience in the country, Harry says, "It was an incredible time. We had an amazing time in New Zealand. It's beautiful".</p>
<p>The Duke of Sussex made the announcement on Māori Television's Te Ao with Moana on Monday night.</p>
<p>Harry told viewers he had always felt a deep connection and respect towards the Maori people.</p>
<p>"Tena Koutou katoa. I've been to Aotearoa a number of times throughout my life and I've always felt a deep connection and respect towards the Māori people who make me feel so welcome every time," Harry said.</p>
