The Duke of Sussex paid
the ultimate tribute to his baby daughter Lili as he filmed a video for his
not-for-profit travel organization, Travalyst. Harry was taking part in a
campaign to help travelers in New Zealand make sustainable travel choices and
in the promotional campaign video, the dad-of-two is seen jogging through a
beautiful forest.
Harry, who shares 11-month-old
daughter Lili and three-year-old son Archie with his wife Meghan Markle,
aptly sported a T-shirt that had the slogan ‘Girl Dad’ emblazoned
across his chest.
In the amusing video, an
Aotearoa New Zealand Trip Rater gives Harry a score of three and a half stars
out of five following his visit to New Zealand in 2018 when he was on an
official tour with his wife Meghan.

After being accused of
dropping a sweet wrapper at Bethells Beach back in October 2018, Harry replied:
“No I don’t think so… we had an amazing time in New Zealand, it’s
beautiful.” The Duke was also told how he was respectful of local
communities, bought some local honey, and didn’t keep the tap running while he
was brushing his teeth.
“I never do,” Harry
said, before adding: “Hang on a second, how do you know that? How do you
know that? That’s really weird.”
The Duke gamely took part in
the promotional video alongside New Zealand stars Rhys Darby, Dave Fane and
Rena Owen.
In a statement and as the founder
of the sustainable travel organization, Harry said: “As travel continues
to come back, we have an opportunity and a need to redefine the industry – for
better, for good. We created the non-profit Travalyst to rethink how travel can
continue to expand our global understanding, to break down barriers, and create cultural connections through experiences we otherwise wouldn’t have.
“We do this while, at the
same time, ensuring local communities truly feel the benefit from tourism and
safeguarding essential ecosystems. In a world where we’ve been tasked with rating so
many things, we’re now asking: what if your destination rated you?

Meghan and Harry previously considered moving to New Zealand
“Starting in beautiful
Aotearoa New Zealand, we’re launching our first campaign. There is a well-known
Māori proverb: Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, ēngari he toa takitini
(Success is not the work of an individual. But the work of many) – we invite
you to be a part of our many.”
Governor-general Patsy Reddy
told Associated Press: “I remember they’d just been down to the Abel
Tasman national park when we sat down and had a drink, and they said that they
could imagine living in a place like this and wondered whether we thought it
would be theoretically possible. Even possible for them to have a place in New
Zealand.
“Of course, we said sure.
It would be fine. There are lots of opportunities to live in New Zealand, but
that would be something that they’d have to explore. They were looking at how
they might raise their family. And, obviously, they’ve made some decisions
since.”
