Prince Harry has travelled to Canada to attend the OREA Power House Conference, hosted at the Hilton Toronto, while his wife, Meghan Markle, stays in the US.
The Duke of Sussex’s appearance at the Ontario property sector’s major conference marks a departure from typical real estate content.
Harry spoke to attendees about the importance of service and leadership, rather than property market topics.
Conference organisers, The Buzz Conference, promoted the event on Instagram, describing Harry as a “humanitarian, mental health advocate, environmentalist, and military combat veteran”.
They noted his dedication to “creating positive and lasting change for communities and the planet, particularly in advancing conversations around resilience and healing”.
The organisers promised attendees wouldn’t want to miss Harry’s presentation, urging them to buy tickets quickly for the Toronto event.
The promotional material emphasised that Harry “will bring a powerful message of service and leadership to the Power House stage”.
