Prince Harry couldn’t contain his joy as he toured the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho – where he is known as ‘the warrior’ – during his solo tour of the region.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, paid a visit to Lesotho Prime Minister Sam Matekane on Wednesday, October 2.
Harry began his visit to Lesotho on Tuesday by meeting with young people and sharing experiences around a bonfire.
The Duke is there to shine a light on the Sentebale charity he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help young people affected by HIV/AIDS.
The charity now supports children and young people as they face various challenges related to health, inequality and climate.
“We are building a force of young advocates and when they are empowered to use their voices, the strength of their impact will be immense,” Harry said on his trip.
“You might not always realise how significant your influence is, but if it changes even one person’s life, it’s worth it.”
Prince Seeiso, 58, called Harry his ‘brother’, and reminded everyone that Harry had an African title that Seeiso had previously bestowed on him.
He said Harry was known as ‘the warrior’ in Lesotho.
The two princes share a rather tragic connection. Seeiso’s father, King Moshoeshoe II, was killed in a car crash in 1996, a year before Princess Diana died in Paris.

Lesotho, known as the ‘kingdom in the sky’ because of its mountainous terrain, celebrates its Independence Day on Friday and will also mark 200 years since the country was founded.
The Duke is also expected to visit Johannesburg in South Africa on his four-day trip to the region.
It comes just over a month before his brother Prince William’s own prestigious event in the same country.
The Prince of Wales is expected to attend the 2024 Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Cape Town on November 6.
