Prince Harry arrived in Lusaka on Monday to begin his solo two-day royal visit of Zambia.
The Duke of Sussex was greeted by official and a traditional dance performance on his arrival to Zambia on Monday, followed by an official welcome by Zambian President Edgar Lungu to the State House in the capital Lusaka.
The Duke emphasised the growing economic ties between the UK and Zambia during a reception which celebrated the relationship between the two countries.
“It’s a great pleasure to be here today on my first official visit to the Republic of Zambia – one of the oldest members of the Commonwealth family,” he told the crowd. “It’s also wonderful to be at an event with so many people representing the sectors that together form the important bond between our two countries.”
“My grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, visited this country in 1979 for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, and since then, the friendship between Britain and Zambia has remained strong,” Harry went on to say. “As President of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, and as Her Majesty’s Commonwealth Youth Ambassador; I am committed to celebrating young people across the Commonwealth who are making a difference in their communities.”
On Tuesday, Prince Harry visited Circus Zambia and appeared delighted to meet with the performers.
Tuesday marks a very special day for Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle. The couple announced their engagement just one year ago today. Now the couple is expecting their first child together!
