Prince Harry laughs as young boy pulls his beard at WellChild awards in London

Prince Harry is in southern Africa for another solo trip without Meghan Markle after a flying visit to the UK for the WellChild Awards.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, is continuing his charity work with Sentebale, which supports young people affected by HIV.

Last night, he met with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho at a bonfire to celebrate the charity’s progress and to call on “people at the top” to take action so that more good can be done.

“We’re hitting the targets, not just Sentebale but all of the departments are, and it’s making a massive difference,” he said. The biggest difference of which really needs more work, is when people from the top start listening.”

This came after Prince William stepped out in London with David Beckham yesterday afternoon following Harry’s triumphant appearance at the WellChild Awards on Monday night.

Harry made headlines with his affinity for the children present and burst into laughter when a cheeky youngster grabbed his beard.

William, 42, met David Beckham as he viewed the new London Air Ambulance helicopters and their crew following a successful fundraising appeal.

Prince Harry arrives in South Africa without Meghan Markle

After a flying visit to the UK for the WellChild Awards, Harry met with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho at a bonfire to reflect on the charity’s progress and the work that still needs to be done.

Established by Harry, 40, in 2006, Sentebale affects young people affected by HIV.

Harry said: “We’re hitting the targets, not just Sentebale but all of the departments are, and it’s making a massive difference, and it is this surge of energy and optimism and the voice of young people ranging from six to 25 – and the biggest difference of which really needs more work, is when people from the top start listening.”

Prince Harry claims ‘rift’ with family was made worse by tabloids

Harry, 40, made the revelation earlier this year in the ITV documentary Tabloids on Trial.

This comes as he once again appears to have seen none of his immediate family while visiting the UK this week for the WellChild Awards.

“The mission continues,” he said of his fight against press intrusion, “but it has, yes, it’s caused, as you say, part of a rift.”

Prince Harry said that tabloid stories are the reason he will not bring his wife Meghan Markle to the UK over concerns for her safety.

Queen Camilla’s son opens up about mother’s drinking and smoking in new book

Mr Parker Bowles, 49, wrote in Cooking and the Crown that the rumours around his mother’s love of certain vices are simply “inaccurate”.

He explained: “If anyone ever meets my mother, they always… I mean, a son would say this, but she’s someone I love going to have dinner with.

“And I go for a walk with her in Scotland. You’re always going to have your rows, differences of opinion.

“It would be very odd if we agreed [on] everything. Creepy. I certainly would annoy her sometimes.

“Oh, you know she has that reputation of drinking gin and smoking? Never drunk a glass of gin in her life. Doesn’t smoke.”

He went on to explain that he has never even seen his mother “so much as tipsy”.
