The Princes’ passion for Africa

Prince Harry has a long-held affinity for Africa with philanthropic interests in Lesotho and Botswana. He has already visited the latter destination with Miss Markle and has expressed a strong desire for his future children to continue the Royal family’s love affair with the continent.  

Prince William is also a fan of Africa, and is a patron of the elephant charity, Tusk. He proposed to Kate Middleton during a 3-week long safari to Kenya.
