The Duke of Sussex has travelled to the Netherlands to announce a new partnership between leading online travel firms that aims to transform the industry.
Harry hopes the new initiative featuring Booking.com, SkyScanner, CTrip, TripAdvisor and Visa will better protect tourist destinations and the communities that depend on them for generations to come.
The duke flew to Amsterdam by a commercial flight to officially launch the project, arriving on Monday.
Singer Sir Elton John defended the duke and duchess and said he had provided them and baby son Archie with a private flight to “maintain a high level of much-needed protection”.
He also hit back at what he called “these relentless and untrue assassinations on their character”.
Later, he will later deliver a speech and host a panel discussion with the company bosses.
