Prince Harry 'confined to his sprawling US mansion' as he starts new career

Prince Harry will reportedly begin his new career at a mental health start-up working from home, in his sprawling Californian mansion with 16 bathrooms and a swimming pool.

The Duke of Sussex has been appointed chief impact officer at BetterUp, a firm that focuses on coaching people on their mental health to help people's performance.

According to reports he will initially be a home worker, operating from his plush US pad.

While home working has become the norm for many Prince Harry won't have any problems with space.

The swanky $14.7 million Santa Barbara mansion boasts a library, cinema and spa, as well as nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms.

The enormous home on 5.4 acres of land in Montecito neighbours properties owned by US chat show icons Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres.

Royal author Penny Junor was reported by The Sun to have said the new set-up was a world away from most people’s experience of working from home.

She said: “There will probably be space for him on the kitchen table. He won’t be tripping over Duplo bricks — I’m sure he can find a room to himself.

“I think it’ll be a lot easier for him than many others who struggle with working from home.”

BetterUp CEO Alexi Robichaux said Harry will not have an office at its HQ in San Francisco but will come in to the office when restrictions are lifted.

Earlier, Harry's new boss said he has been “impressed” with his staffer's “incredible attitude” following his appointment as chief impact officer.

He declined to reveal the former-royal's salary or how many hours he'll be working in his new role.

He also said that Harry has been working at his new job for a “few months”, despite the appointment only being announced this week.
