‘Humiliating:’ Legendary Chef José Andrés Defects From Harry and Meghan to William

Picking a side in a divorce is always uncomfortable.

Some people, of course, manage to stay friends with both parties.

Now José Andrés is having a go at being allied with both Prince Harry and Prince William.

For the legendary chef and founder of humanitarian food program World Central Kitchen (WCK) has joined the board of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize—despite having long been one of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s most prestigious associates.

His organization has previously received funding from Archewell running to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the Sussexes have described him as a “longtime friend and partner.”

He has gushingly described them in return as “dear friends” who “bring hope to each and every community you touch, always with a smile, always with empathy.”

A British reputation management consultant who has previously worked with both William and Harry and the wider royal family told The Daily Beast that Andrés’ defection was “humiliating” for Harry and Meghan and “a very graphic illustration of the power differential between William and Harry.”

It remains to be seen if their relationship can survive Andrés being poached by Harry’s estranged brother and heir to the throne. The role will see Andrés work closely alongside William and other luminaries such as Sir David Attenborough to award prizes.

Earthshot dishes out five million dollar investment prizes every year to entrepreneurs seeking technological solutions to the climate crisis.
