He has contributed to several big projects supporting the wildlife of the county.

Harry has many times in the past talked about Africa on the global stage and even called the continent his second home.

“Since I first visited Africa as13 years old, I’ve always found hope on the continent. In fact, for most of my life, it has been my lifeline,” he said in his UN speech on Nelson Mandela Day.

“It’s where I’ve felt closest to my [late] mother, [Princess Diana], and sought solace after she died, and where I knew I had found a soulmate in my wife.”

In 2019, Harry along with his wife Meghan and his son Archie, who was only four months old back then, went on a royal tour to Africa.

It was the first and also the last royal tourafter which, the couple took a step back from their royal duties and moved to California, USA in March 2020.
