PRINCE Harry has been working quietly for MONTHS at his new BetterUp job, his boss revealed.
Alexi Robichaux, CEO of the Silicon Valley start-up, also revealed the Duke decided to drop his royal names in the workplace – while keeping his salary and working hours a secret.

Speaking about Prince Harry, Mr Robichaux told BBC: “He’s been in the role for a couple of months, and we’re so excited to share the news with the world.
“We’re partners here, he likes to be called Harry in the workplace, so we just address him as Harry.”
But despite his new role as Chief Impact Officer for the company, the CEO refused to say how much the Duke is getting paid.
The boss said: “You can imagine as a private company, we don’t disclose any compensation for any employees and folks.
“And so unfortunately not able to share that.”
But similar roles to the one Harry has taken on can command seven figures at other Silicon Valley firms.
He also refused to say whether the Duke will be working long hours at his new job, instead he added: “I’m not worried about hours.
‘CALL ME HARRY’
“I’m worried about contribution and I’m worried about change and positive change.”
Mr Robichaux added that he and his team were “honoured” to have the Duke working with them in the role he took up months ago.
Singing his praises, the CEO said that he has an “incredible attitude” and that the Prince is “filled with energy and enthusiasm.”
The royal joined the leadership team at San Francisco-based BetterUp Inc – a coaching and mental health firm in the US valued at £1.25bn.
Its app — dubbed the life-coaching equivalent of Tinder — is used by corporate giants including Facebook and Google to improve the mental health of its staff.
The Wall Street Journal yesterday reported the 36-year-old would take up the “meaty” role one year after he quit the Royal Family.
Harry, 36, told the publication in an email: “I intend to help create impact in people’s lives.
“Proactive coaching provides endless possibilities for personal development, increased awareness, and an all-round better life.”
Mr Robichaux revealed he had started speaking with the royal last year after being introduced through a mutual friend.
BetterUp was co-founded in 2013 by Mr Robichaux, who said the idea came to him while on a pilgrimage trail in Spain.
It offers mobile-based coaching, counselling and mentorship for employees of large businesses including Facebook, Google, Airbnb and LinkedIn.
Users scroll through profiles of therapists and life coaches — just like dating app Tinder — and select a match.
Harry revealed he had been using it for a couple of months.
He joked that filling out the initial questionnaire was a “bit awkward” because being sixth in line to the throne was not covered.
He went on: “I was matched with my coach who, quite frankly, is truly awesome and has always given me sound advice.”
