Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at a venture capital event earlier this week, where he discussed fatherhod and "a life of service".
The Duke spoke at the Upfront Summit in Los Angeles on Thursday, revealing his passion for "investing in solutions" that can help fix "a divided society".
He issued the six-word message, "I'm here to talk about something" before continuing: "That I believe will resonate with all of you as leaders, creators, builders and changemakers. How do we invest in our shared future to solve the challenges we face today as a divided society?
"As a dad, this has me constantly looking for solutions. As a man who was born into a life of service, I recognise that with power and a platform comes responsibility. And these days, I am determined to find and invest in solutions."
Harry added: "I've approached everything in my life through the lens of service. From my institutional role traveling the world to my decade of duties in the military, I saw the power of serving others firsthand."
The Duke of Sussex attributed his experiences abroad to teaching him the value of putting others first in creating stronger, more sustainable systems.
He said: "That's true from Nigeria to Nepal, and from Sydney to Santa Barbara."
Harry joked about his unusual ubringing when it came to politics, saying: "Hell, I’ve never even been allowed to vote".
The prince also touched on how his life as a senior working Royal was centred around charity work, an aspect that continues to be a focal point for him today.
He shared with the audience: "Because before I moved [to America], so much of my life revolved around charity. Since then, while my charities remain a core part of my life's work.
"I've also been focusing on upstream solutions and prevention, driven by decisions and investments that address problems before they require fixing."
This reflective moment from the prince came shortly before the debut of his wife Meghan Markle's Netflix series "With Love, Meghan", set to premiere on March 4.
