Prince Harry Ripped For His Acting Skills In New Advert

Since quitting the monarchy, the 37-year-old has been trying his hand at plenty of new things - but it seems like his acting may need a little work.

The Duke of Sussex appears alongside Kiwi Rhys Darby in a skit to promote a new eco-friendly travel scheme, operated by his non-profit company Travalyst.

In the video, he can be seen jogging in a 'Girl Dad' t-shirt, before 'rating agent' Darby chases after him and accuses him of dropping a sweet wrapper during a previous trip to New Zealand in 2018.

Harry seems perplexed by the whole thing - but also very wooden. Painfully wooden.

Fair play to him for putting himself out there and trying new things, but a lot of viewers reckoned he might cringe when he watches it back.

One person wrote: "Oh gees I can just picture William with his head in his hands cringing."

Another wrote: "It's excruciating. You just know he's going to look back one day and cringe."

A third added: "#PrinceHarry tries his hand at acting in bizarre skit - what a total fool."

While a fourth said: "Oh my god this is awful.

"Prince Harry appears in some badly produced infomercial on sustainable tourism, except it's so poorly produced you have no idea what’s actually going on."

He said: "Every year more and more of us want better options for sustainable travel.

"For the first time Travalyst is striving to make that a reality for everybody who wants to support local communities through kaitiaki (guardianship) and looking after nature and wildlife."

He added: "For our first campaign we are looking to flip the script. We are always being asked for our feedback on our trips and experiences – but what would happen if our holiday rated us?"

Its website reads: "We believe tourism can, and must, play a key role in achieving a sustainable future for our world; so we’re convening the key players, and catalysing the necessary action, to change the impact of travel, for good.

"We are committed to being a driving force that redefines what it means to travel, helping everyone explore our world in a way that protects both people and places, and secures a positive future for destinations and local communities for generations to come."
