But to his coworkers, the Duke of Sussex is just another member of the team.
"He's a colleague, he's a partner, and so we address him as Harry," the startup's CEO Alexi Robichaux told Reuters. "Obviously there's a stateliness and he's very dignified, but he is very accessible, very genuine, very humble."
