Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a> touched down in Southern Africa for the first time in five years after a whirlwind week<\/a> that included trips to London and New York City.<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex, 40, posed for photographs with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho<\/strong> on Tuesday, October 1, during a welcome event for innovative funders and business leaders at his nonprofit organization<\/a> Sentebale\u2019s Mamohato Children\u2019s Centre in Maseru, Lesotho. Over the next few days, the invited guests will see Sentebale\u2019s work in action.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019ve learned in more than two decades is that the younger generation have solutions and if we continue to grow platforms and share their stories while also breaking stigmas, real change happens,\u201d Harry told<\/a> the gathering of local and global dignitaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are creating a force of young advocates, and once they are empowered to use their voices, the strength of their impact will be formidable. You guys sharing on the radio, you may never know how big your impact is, but if it changes the life of even one person, it\u2019s worth it,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPrince Harry has carved a unique path as a philanthropist, father and military veteran. King Charles III and Princess Diana welcomed their youngest son in September 1984, two years after the arrival of Prince William. Unlike his older brother \u2014 who became second in line to the throne after Queen Elizabeth II\u2018s death in September [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Harry last visited the region in 2019, according to the official Sentable Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harry, who turned 40<\/a> on September 15, has had a busy couple of weeks as he also addressed the United Nations<\/a> in New York City on September 24 at the Clinton Global Initiative. Harry introduced the Parents\u2019 Network, a new program set up by his and his wife Meghan Markle<\/strong>\u2019s The Archewell Foundation.<\/p>\n

During the event, Harry spoke about the dangers of social media for children, telling UN leaders, \u201cIf we allow the status quo to remain in an age where our lives are intertwined with technology, we cannot afford to only see the online world as a space for profitability, competition and rapid growth instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
