The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly in talks with a tech company to build their own world in the metaverse
It would be the world’s first public “land sale” in the virtual metaverse, which many people think could be the future of the internet.
Facebook has changed its corporate name to Meta and plans to spend £10bin on creating its own metaverse platform.
They are currently trying to build the metaverse – a set of interconnected virtual worlds, which will be explored in part using VR headsets.
Harry and Meghan, who are living in California after quitting royal duties, may well be following in the metaverse footsteps of celebrities including singer Justin Bieber and socialite Paris Hilton.
A source close to the couple told The Mirror: “Both Meghan and Harry believe they will an even greater ability to spread their message if they have a presence in the virtual world as well as the physical world.
“They’ve spoken to a variety of experts and the view is this is the next stage to take their brand truly global.”
The couple, who started their charitable foundation Archewell in 2020, are reportedly in advanced talks with Pax.World to launch the next stage of their brand business.
The technology firm is offering “immersive, life-like experiences” in a 3D world.
Pax.World’s founder Frank Fitzgerald said: “We’re offering Harry and Meghan a plot of prime pax.world land and the chance to collaborate with the world’s leading architects, build on it, and connect with new audiences.
“If they are to pursue business and entertainment deals, position themselves as thought leaders, and progress their charity work, they must partner with a platform that shares their values.
“Imagine Meghan hosting a podcast in the metaverse, or Harry hosting a conference on sustainability with world leaders without having to board a plane.”
Mr Fitzgerald added: “The metaverse is tailor-made for the progressive, tech-savvy, entrepreneurial audience with whom Harry and Meghan look to connect as they turn a new page, away from the Royal Family.”
