Prince Harry has been spotted in southern Africa today just hours after his brother Prince William was photographed at an event with football legend David Beckham.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, attended an awards ceremony for WellChild in the UK last night before jetting to Africa on his next solo engagement without his wife Meghan Markle.

After landing in Lesotho today, Harry had lunch with Princess Senate Seeiso of Lesotho, 23, where he was pictured standing beside the young royal.

The princess is the niece of Prince Seeiso, who Harry co-founded his youth-focused charity Sentebale with.

The charity aims to help young people in need in Africa, including those with HIV and aids.

On this current engagement, Harry will be meeting with business leaders, philanthropists and local stakeholders in Lesotho to drive forward the work of the charity and the impact it can have across the country.

It is not known how long Harry will be in Lesotho for, but it is believed Meghan will not be flying out to join her husband and instead will stay at their Montecito mansion with the couple’s children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

The photograph of Prince Harry in Africa comes just hours after his brother, who he is not on speaking terms with, was photographed with David Beckham.

The pair, who are believed to be friends, were spotted standing beside a new £8million helicopter which has been donated to the London Air Ambulance Charity at RAF Northolt.

The meeting between the two men could be considered a snub to Prince Harry, who is believed to have once been on friendly terms with the Beckham family.

However, over the last year, the footballer has been pictured more with Prince William, suggesting a potential fracture in the relationship between Harry and David.

Prince Harry is set to return to California this week.
