Prince Harry has suffered a damning blow just less than two weeks before he is set to take to the stage in Toronto for a big event. The Duke of Sussex, 41, has been confirmed as the keynote speaker at The Orea Power House Conference, where the royal will talk about “service and leadership”.

While the event is dubbed a political affairs conference, it is believed Harry will not be touching on politics as he speaks at the event on December 1, held at The Hilton in Toronto, Canada. Instead, he will talk about the importance of service.

However, for anyone who wants to hear the duke share his wisdom, a ticket does not come cheap and costs £162 ($299) Canadian dollars for a member and £270 ($499) Canadian dollars for a non-member of OREA.

With such a significant price tag attached to the event, here at Express.co.uk we asked our royal readers whether they would pay £270 to see Prince Harry speak at an event like the one to be held in under two weeks.

The poll was launched on Wednesday morning, with the results gathered on Friday afternoon. The result was humiliating for the prince, with 99% of those voting saying they wouldn’t pay, while only 1% said they would.

Harry himself has not addressed his upcoming appearance at the event, which comes just weeks after the prince last visited Toronto for Remembrance Week earlier this month.

It is believed the duke will not be accompanied by his wife Meghan Markle to the event.

Since news of Harry being a headline speaker at the event – which will also have plenty of discussions about real estate – was made public this week, many people have reacted on X.

One person wrote: “I would not pay $2 to hear him speak!”

Another said: “Will have to seriously question anyone who pays money and turns up to listen to Harry ramble on.”

Someone else commented: “What does he know about real estate and the Canadian economy?”
