Talk about ambiance

Prince Harry is on the move…again.

The Duke of Sussex, who just celebrated the big 4-0 in August, has touched down in Southern Africa. Kicking off his trip, he attended a welcome event for innovative funders and business leaders at Sentebale’s Mamohato Children’s Centre in Maseru, Lesotho—a nonprofit he and the country's Prince Seeiso started in 2006.

Now, while Prince Harry’s in Africa to support Sentebale (more on that in a sec), we can’t ignore the striking photo that was snapped during the event. Picture this: It’s nighttime, Harry’s sitting casually with his elbows on his knees, the soft glow of the campfire lighting up his face and he looks like he’s deep in thought. The vibe? Calm, cool and collected.

This marks Harry’s first visit to Lesotho since 2019, according to Sentebale’s Instagram. Over the next few days, he and other guests will get a front-row seat to see Sentebale’s impact firsthand. The organization is all about closing the digital divide and ensuring young people have access to healthcare, education and opportunities in entrepreneurship and employment.

Alongside a photo of Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso, Sentebale wrote, “The trip will conclude with a reception and working session in Johannesburg with leading Southern Africa-based business leaders, foundations, and organizations with a deep commitment to the region."

ICYMI, Prince Harry’s Africa trip follows a whirlwind week in both New York City and London. In NYC, he was all about championing causes like African Parks, The HALO Trust, The Diana Award and Travalyst. Oh, and he even squeezed in some time with fellow European royal Queen Mathilde of Belgium (as you do).

Then in London, he was the guest of honor at the WellChild Awards, supporting kids with serious illnesses and disabilities.

Meanwhile, back in California, Meghan Markle is holding it down with their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

Busy times for the Sussexes.
