The glamorous world of royalty and supermodels were on full display recently as Prince William took center stage at the Earthshot Prize awards in Cape Town, South Africa. As the Prince of Wales, William was the shining star of the event, bringing his notable charm and charisma to promote the initiative's mission of finding solutions to environmental issues. However, it seems his brother Harry was left fuming in the shadows as numerous high-profile celebrities joined William in Cape Town but seemed to forget that Harry even exists.
Supermodels Heidi Klum and Winnie Harlow were chosen to present awards at the prestigious ceremony, strutting their stuff on the grand stage. Meanwhile, Harry was relegated to the sidelines, likely clutching a pint of ice cream and seething with jealousy. What must it feel like for Harry to watch beautiful and talented women like Heidi, who could probably wear a potato sack and still look incredible, join forces with his brother for such an impactful event? Heidi had even gushed about being "deeply inspired" by Earthshot's mission in interviews leading up to the ceremony, ready to wow and charm the attended crowd.

If the supermodel presenters weren't enough to stir the pot of jealousy within Harry, the event was also hosted by the equally glamorous Billy Porter and Nomzamo Mbatha. The stark contrast between William working with such A-list talent and Harry's ongoing struggles to find success in Hollywood could not have been more clear. While William was seen mingling with celebrities, Harry was left to deal with his own Hollywood heartbreak on the sidelines.
Word around Montecito, California is that the "Sussex Survivors Club" of staff who have endured working for Prince Harry and Meghan is growing faster than the couple's high employee turnover rate. The revolving door of aides and employees rapidly leaving their employment must be enough to make anyone want to throw in the towel. One recent departure was Josh Kettler, who bounced after just three short months working for the Sussexes, likely needing extensive therapy after experiencing their difficult household environment firsthand. He is merely the latest in a long line of staffers who have tried and failed to make sense of the chaos that is the Duke and Duchess's operations. Insiders describe Harry and Meghan as poor decision makers, constantly creating unwanted drama.

You'd think that with all of their royal connections and Hollywood glamour, Harry and Meghan would be able to retain staff for more than just a few months. But alas, that is not their known management style. Meanwhile, one has to admire Robert W. Irwin, taking after his late father Steve Irwin as a passionate Earthshot Global ambassador. No doubt Irwin is out promoting conservation with joy, while Harry nurses wounds from more failed attempts to find stable work amongst the Hollywood elite. One can almost hear Harry muttering that he's a prince too, wondering why celebrities don't fall over themselves to work with him like they do William.
The powerful duo of Prince William and Catherine, the new Prince and Princess of Wales, were also shining stars in support of Earthshot. While Catherine joined her husband at the inaugural awards in London in 2021 and again in Boston in 2022, she was not able to travel with William to South Africa this year due to other commitments. Last year, William made the solo trip to Singapore for the 2023 Earthshot Awards while Catherine stayed home to support their son Prince George during important school exams. Hollywood events seem to continue eluding Harry as family obligations take priority for the Cambridge family.

It's been said that Harry's charms have been, ironically, something of a double-edged sword. As Meghan's self-proclaimed "enabler," he merely serves the controversial management style of his wife that has been compared to a "dictator in high heels." It is truly no wonder that Harry's former staffers are now dishing some spicy tea about their experiences. By all accounts, merely working for the Sussexes was enough to reduce even grown men to tears under the pressure.

As William gets set to bask in the glory of celebrity accolades, major environmental activism, and global endorsement for his important humanitarian initiatives, many onlookers cannot help but chuckle at Harry's bumbling Hollywood misadventures. The contrast between the brothers has become stark - one thrives in glitz and glamour whilst working tirelessly for global causes close to his heart, while the other seems relegated to licking his wounds and plotting revenge over a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, seething with jealousy over his brother's genuine successes and the supermodels, actors, and activists that flock to support William's mission. When it comes to commanding the spotlight, some royals just shine a whole lot brighter.
