Prince Harry’s wellness firm has slashed 30 per cent off its prices for counselling courses after being savaged by former staff members.
The Duke of Sussex works at BetterUp as the Chief Impact Officer, and the company has sent emails to clients pleading for business.
The California-based firm wrote: “Our best deal of the year is here!
“Save an extra 30 per cent on all BetterUp plans and jumpstart your growth journey.

“This offer is here for a limited time only…sign up today and unlock your potential with a personal Coach.”
The email adds: “We never do this.”
This comes after former employees branded the company a “Toxic Boys’ Club” on Glassdoor, according to reports in Radar Online.
One ex-staff member claimed that “wartime language” is frequently used.
BetterUp has a 2.8 out of five review score on Glassdoor.
Another former staff member wrote: “Seemingly never-ending culture of toxicity and bad leadership. Useless and utterly powerless HR.”
However, some employees have a positive experience, with one writing: “Fantastic employee benefits and mission.”
Another wrote: “Amazing colleagues, products, leaders, and mission! This place is fast-paced.”
Similarly, someone said: “Great culture and everyone is here to help you succeed.”
The royal’s description on the company website reads: “Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex is a humanitarian, military veteran, mental wellness advocate, and environmentalist.
“As co-founder of Archewell, he is focused on driving systemic change across all communities through non-profit work as well as creative activations.
“The mission across Archewell —which currently includes Archewell Foundation, Archewell Productions, and Archewell Audio—is united behind the deeply held belief that compassion is the defining cultural force of the 21st century.
“Prince Harry has dedicated his life’s work to advancing causes that he is passionate about.
“He is the Founder of The Invictus Games, a platform for wounded, injured and sick service personnel to use sport as part of their rehabilitation, as well as Travalyst, a non-profit entity comprised of several of the largest online travel agencies in the world.
“Additionally, he co-founded Sentebale with his dear friend Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, in memory of their mothers’ charitable work in combating the HIV crisis, and serves as President of African Parks, a non-governmental organisation focused on protecting Africa’s ecosystems in partnership with local communities and governments.”
Prince Harry’s job at BetterUp is to: “Raise awareness and advocate for mental fitness. Guide the company’s social mission. Foster supportive communities. Create an environment for open conversations. Help people build resilience, confidence, and inner strength.”
