Prince Harry has been spotted with the Princess of Lesotho, Senate Seeiso, as he begins a visit to South Africa for his charity, Sentebale. This comes just hours after he left Britain following a brief trip without Meghan.
In a casual white shirt, jeans, and a dark jacket, the 40-year-old Duke of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 posed with the Princess, who shared the moment on Instagram, captioning it, “Had the pleasure of hosting a lunch today.”
Harry’s trip to Lesotho and South Africa marks another week away from Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, who did not accompany him on his UK visit either. Notably, he did not meet with King Charles or Prince William during his brief stay, despite being just two miles from Buckingham Palace and less than an hour’s drive from his brother’s home.
He was in London to attend the WellChild Awards, an event that recognizes some of Britain’s bravest children and supports a charity close to his heart.
Prince Harry is set to fly from London to South Africa to support his charity, Sentebale, after a brief stay in the UK. He is traveling to Lesotho for a gathering of business leaders, philanthropists, and local stakeholders, focusing on promoting digital and economic inclusion for the next generation in Africa.
It is unlikely that Meghan will join him on this trip, especially after they spent ten days apart while he was in New York for various engagements, including an event honoring his mother, Princess Diana.
While in London, Harry stayed at a hotel just two miles from Buckingham Palace and under an hour’s drive from his brother’s home. A spokesman for Harry did not comment on any potential family meetings, but MailOnline understands that no rapprochement occurred during this visit, his third to Britain since May.
The inspiration for Sentebale originated in 2004 when Harry spent two months in Lesotho during his gap year, an experience that left a lasting impact on the then-19-year-old royal.
During his visit to Lesotho, Prince Harry met face-to-face with Aids orphans, interacted with traumatized young people, and visited herd boys enduring tough conditions while tending to cattle in remote mountain areas.
He was invited to the country by Senate Seeiso, a friend of his mentor, ex-Army officer Mark Dyer.
Founded in 2006, Sentebale initially focused on Lesotho before expanding into Botswana. The charity operates in four key areas: strengthening the social and emotional well-being of those living with or affected by HIV, providing access to health and social services, driving youth advocacy, and building individuals’ s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s and livelihoods.
