Prince Harry faces a setback as a key figure involved in one of his cherished initiatives has decided to step down. Sally Davey, who served as the chief executive of Travalyst, a non-profit eco-tourism organization co-founded by the Duke of Sussex in 2019, announced her departure to prioritize more time for her family and personal well-being.
Expressing gratitude towards Harry for his support and guidance in her decision to resign, Sally affirmed her ongoing dedication to Travalyst’s mission despite relinquishing her CEO role. Sources close to the situation highlighted Sally’s departure as a significant loss for Travalyst, citing her instrumental role in the organization’s development.
Travalyst, based in London, was launched by Prince Harry with Meghan Markle when they were still active members of the royal family. The initiative aimed to promote environmentally friendly and sustainable practices in the tourism industry by collaborating with major travel companies like TripAdvisor and Skyscanner.
Notwithstanding criticisms over Harry’s use of private jets, he emphasized the importance of continuous improvement in addressing environmental challenges during Travalyst’s launch in Amsterdam. Sally’s exit comes amidst a pattern of staff turnover within the Sussexes’ new endeavors.
While some eyebrows were raised at the departure of public relations professional Josh Kettler shortly after his appointment to guide Harry, he later praised the couple for their dedication and work ethic. Former and current employees also spoke in defense of Meghan, highlighting the supportive and caring nature of the Duke and Duchess behind the scenes.
As the Sussexes navigate through public scrutiny, their commitment to philanthropic initiatives and personal interactions with staff members continue to be commended by those who have worked closely with them.
