Eventful weeks for Prince Harry: first his 40th birthday, then appointments in New York and London. And now he is visiting the south of Africa.
Prince Harry (40) traveled on to South Africa after his stopover in his British homeland. He is there for his charity Sentebale. As British and US media had previously suspected, he is not accompanied by his wife Duchess Meghan (43).
Harry praises the voice of the younger generation
On October 1, the Duke of Sussex reunited with his old friend, Prince Seeiso of the Kingdom of Lesotho, and gave an impassioned speech about his organization’s work around a campfire. Sentebale supports children and young people living with HIV or at risk of HIV. Like the British one “Daily Mail reportedHarry praised the “boost of energy and optimism and the voice of young people between the ages of six and 25” during the welcome evening. Now we still have to work on “getting people from above to start listening.”
Prince Seeiso added: “Sentebale’s whole journey began with (Harry, editor’s note) coming to the motherland – he is now my younger brother Mohali, the warrior – but breathing the same air and eating the same food as them Children… that inspired this dream and brought us to where we are now. The younger son of King Charles III (75) visited the small country in the middle of South Africa for the first time in 2004 during his year abroad before Sentebale in 2006 – at a time when one in three children in the country had lost a parent to HIV-related illness. The charity now operates across Lesotho and Botswana, helping vulnerable children and young people.
No meeting with royal relatives
Harry’s trip to Lesotho and South Africa looks set to be another week without his wife and their two children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, who also did not previously accompany the Duke on his visits to New York City and Britain. The 40-year-old was in London at the end of September for the WellChild Awards, but is said not to have met his father or his brother William (42).
From the British capital we went straight on to southern Africa. The program includes a meeting with business leaders, philanthropists and local stakeholders. The aim is to advance the work of his youth-focused charity and support the digital and economic inclusion of the next generation in Africa.
