Prince Harry asked “the people at the top” to “start listening to him” during his solo trip to South Africa. This is the third trip that the youngest son of Her Majesty has taken without Meghan Markle, and doubts are starting to resurface.
Solo trip to Africa
The Duke of Sussex, 40 years old, met with his old friend, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, and moved the audience with his speech about the work that his charity organization Sentebale has been doing.
Sentebale supports young people living with HIV or at risk.
Prince Harry said: "We are achieving the goals, not only Sentebale but all departments, and it is making a huge difference, and it is this increase in energy and optimism and the voice of young people between six and 25 years old, and the biggest difference that really needs more work is when people at the top start to listen."
While Seeiso added: "This whole journey of Sentebale started with that element of [Harry] having come to the homeland - now it's my younger brother Mohali, the warrior - but experiencing breathing the same air, eating the same food as the children... which inspired this dream to get to where we are now."
"But it is that deep need that we want, collectively, to make a difference in our lives, and not only in our lives, but to leave a legacy and pass the baton to the next generation, and that is why we are going to approach it from all different angles."
Africa means a lot to the prince.
The Kumbaya bonfire moment was the Duke's first event after flying in from London for the WellChild Awards, also without his wife.
Harry visited Lesotho for the first time in 2004 and in 2006 he launched Sentebale. While the prince was in Africa, he also made a stop to have lunch with the Royal Family of Lesotho.
