Prince Harry left fans disappointed when he failed to appear on a livestream life coaching summit.
The Duke of Sussex had been listed as a speaker at an event held by life coaching firm BetterUp who he serves as chief impact officer for. Specific details of Harry's attendance weren't given and fans subsequently only found out about his session where he spoke on managing "the pressures of today's world and modern corporate life" in a post on his website Sussex.com.
He spoke on a panel at the San Francisco-based event and was joined by Dr Adam Grant, BetterUp's chairman of the Center for Purpose and Performance, and Kelly Jones, who is tech firm Cisco's chief people officer. As well as his appearance at the event, Harry was also snapped alongside actress Mindy Kaling.

Fans had hoped to see Harry live (Chris Jackson/Getty Images)It continued to say Harry and his fellow panelists dove into the "psychological toll of leading through uncertainty" and explained how they shared their own personal stories as well as evidence-based practices and forward thinking policies. It's said the actions were aimed at helping leaders to thrive under the current pressures they may face.
Harry first took on the role with mental health firm BetterUp in March 2021, eight years after the company was founded. His position was made public just weeks after his explosive Oprah Winfrey interview.
According to the company's website, it has a network of over 3,000 coaches who offer advice and help in 60 languages across 70 countries. However, it's alleged Harry's involvement hasn't been met with wide appreciation with one former employee previously telling the Daily Beast that his involvement had become somewhat of a "distraction".
The employee claimed to the publication: "Every article mentions his role at BetterUp then goes on to roast [him and Meghan Markle ]... The juice isn't worth the squeeze." Harry is expected to return to the UK next month ahead of an Invictus Games event. It's not yet known whether he'll be joined by Meghan and his kids.
