Prince Harry’s Travelist Project Mocked on Australian Comedy Show

's latest project, the Sustainable Travel Organization Travelist, was the subject of ridicule on Monday's episode of Have You Been Paying Attention?, an Australian comedy show.

The panel of comedians made a series of cutting jokes about an advert for Travelist starring Harry that aired on New Zealand television last week.

Quizmaster Tom Gleisner asked the panel, “ is in a new ad.

What's he advertising?”

Ed Carveley was the first to hit the buzzer with a brutal barb about Harry using his royal connections to make money in America.

“I think it's an eBay sell-off of Philip's stuff,” he said, referring to Harry's grandfather Prince Philip who died in April 2021 aged 99.

Kitty Flanagan then made a risque joke about the longstanding, and false, rumors surrounding Harry's paternity.

“Is it Ancestry.com DNA testing?”

she asked.

But it was Anne Edmonds who provided the correct answer, saying Harry was in fact promoting his environmental travel business.

Travelist, founded in 2019, is an eco-travel project in which holidaymakers, rather than holidays, are rated for how sustainable they are.

New Zealanders now have access to a rating tool on the Travelist website as part of a pilot initiative encouraging travelers to consider sustainable options while planning their next trip.

The advert, which also starred Kiwi actors Dave Fain and Rene Owen, promoted the first initiative launched in New Zealand for Harry's non-profit Travelist organization.

Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Harry's paternity has been the subject of humor on Have You Been Paying Attention?

In July last year, Ed made a joke about 's lover James Hewitt being the prince's biological father, a claim that has been categorically debunked.

Tom showed the panel a photo of Harry with a mystery companion whose face was blurred, and asked, “Two famous redheads got together this week.

Who is Prince Harry with here?

His real dad?”

Ed responded, prompting a disapproving look from the host.

In reality, Harry had caught up with British singer Ed Sheeran at the Well Child charity event in London the week before.

Former cavalry officer Hewitt, 64, has long denied false rumors he is the biological father of Prince Harry, with whom he shares similar physical traits including red hair.

The paternity rumors are of course bogus, as Hewitt didn't meet Diana until two years after Harry was born.

In a 2017 interview with Sevens Sunday Night, he was asked point blank by host Melissa Doyle if he, not , was Harry's real dad.

He firmly responded, “No, I'm not.”

When pressed about the false rumors that have persisted for decades, he added, “It sells papers.

It's worse for him, probably, poor chap.”

In other news, Prince Harry and did not want to be a part of Queen's balcony tradition, says close friend.

Royal author and aide Omid Scobie denies that the couple was snubbed from trooping the color event, insisting that they themselves opted out of the momentous occasion.

Writing for Yahoo News, Scobie said Harry had spoken with his grandmother about the possibility of not attending trooping the color long before last week's announcements.

The Sussexes thought it inappropriate to appear at the balcony moment as they were no longer working royals, he added.

But they were keen to be part of the jubilee and to attend the service on June 3.

Meghan and Harry quit as senior royals in 2020 and moved to the US with son .

After a year, the couple welcomed younger offspring, daughter together.

The Sussexes have been controversial royals ever since their decision to step down from their duties.

The couple sat in with in a bombshell interview, where Meghan accused Queen aides of being racist.

In conclusion, Prince Harry's eco-travel project, Travelist, was mocked on an Australian comedy show.

The panel of comedians made several cutting jokes about an advert for Travelist starring Harry that aired on New Zealand television last week.
