Prince Harry’s next royal visit has been announced – and Duchess Meghan won’t be joining him.
He’s only been back from his tour of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific for less than a month but Prince Harry is set to jet off for another royal visit later this month.
The Duke of Sussex will enjoy a two-day tour to Zambia without his pregnant wife, the Duchess of Sussex. The Duke will arrive in the African country on November 26 for his visit, which is at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
He will also attend a board meeting for African Parks, a non-profit organistion of which he is President.
On November 27 – the one-year anniversary of when the world was told of his plans to marry Meghan Markle – Prince Harry will meet with an organisation called CAMFED, which tackles poverty and inequality in sub-Saharan Africa through the education of girls and the empowerment of young women.
It is an issue close to his wife’s heart and one she will make a central part of her own public work.
Kensington Palace announced the news yesterday via Twitter, it wrote. “As part of the visit The Duke will attend a UK in Zambia reception to celebrate UK-Zambia relations, and will visit Burma Barracks to attend an event commemorating WWI and WWII Zambian veterans.” Harry will also “attend events for The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, of which he is President,” and “visit Bongo Hive, Zambia’s first technology and innovation hub.”
The tour will follow Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall’s visit to Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria earlier this month.
Prince Harry also paid a private visit to Lesotho in June, in connection with his work with Sentebale.
