Prince Harry is visiting Lesotho, where he co-founded a young foundation in 2006 to honour his late mother, Princess Diana.
The Duke of Sussex began his visit on Tuesday by meeting with young people and sharing their stories around an evening campfire. He paid a courtesy call on Lesotho Prime Minister Sam Matekane on Wednesday.
Harry, who turned 40 last month, is also scheduled to visit Johannesburg in neighbouring South Africa during his four-day tour to the region, which will be his first visit in five years. His wife, Meghan Markle, and children Archie and Lilibet did not accompany him.
Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho launched the Sentebale organisation to support young people impacted by HIV/AIDS. It operates in Lesotho and Botswana and has evolved into an organisation that assists children and young people facing various health, inequality, and climate issues. Sentebale, which means “don’t forget me” in Sesotho, was established by the princes in memory of both their late moms.
We are establishing a force of young champions. When they are empowered to use their voices, their effect will be enormous’, Harry said the young people and those associated with his charity gathering around the campfire. “You may not understand how powerful your effect is, but if it affects even one person’s life, it’s worthwhile.
