Prince Harry's ex-school friend gives scathing verdict on Duke's new role
An old school friend of Prince Harry has shared his candid thoughts on the Duke of Sussex being chosen as a keynote speaker at an upcoming conference next month. Harry has been confirmed as the headline speaker at an event in Toronto, Canada, on December 1.The 41 year old Duke will address the stage at The Orea Power House Conference to discuss "service and leadership" before an audience of 450 real estate agents.The conference organizers describe the event: "This is your chance to hear from influential leaders, political pundits and powerful insiders on all things real estate policy, housing supply and the Canadian economy."Reacting to Harry's scheduled appearance, a former classmate from Eton College jokingly remarked: "I'm not sure how much I would pay to hear Harry hold forth on housing supply in Canada," the Daily Mail reports.The gathering is billed as a political affairs conference where "leaders, political pundits and powerful insiders" examine real estate policy, housing supply and the Canadian economy.The conference website has encouraged people to register for the event to "see Prince Harry, in person!"Ontario Real Estate Association members will need to pay C$299 (£163) for admission, while those who aren't members will face a steeper cost of C$499 (£272).On Facebook, The Buzz Conference announced on behalf of The Orea Power House: "The Headliner Keynote Speaker is Prince Harry, humanitarian, mental health advocate, environmentalist, and military combat veteran."His work is dedicated to creating positive and lasting change for communities and the planet, particularly in advancing conversations around resilience and healing."Now, he won't be speaking about Real Estate. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, will bring a powerful message of service and leadership to the Power House stage."Trust us, you're not going to want to miss this one!" Harry's most recent Toronto visit occurred earlier this month, where he participated in activities leading up to Remembrance Day.The engagements allowed the duke to connect with veterans, armed forces community members and military charities.
