Prince Harry in southern Africa for another trip without Meghan after UK visit – live

The pair were attending a charity event to raise awareness of the charity Sentebale, which supports young people affected by HIV.

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.”

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.”

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”.

The prince opened up when Noah Nicholson, six, threw one of his cuddly toys at him – a giraffe named Raffy.

He said: “Is this the same one? No way! Every parent has a spare. I’ve got at least six spares.

“My daughter Lili has these Lovies.”

Harry, 40, was attending in his capacity as patron for the charity which supports seriously ill young people and their carers.

While delivering a speech, he said: “So, keep being you. You’ve got this and we’ve got you.”

An audience member proceeded to shout: “We’ve got you too!”

In a post shared by the official Kensington Palace Twitter/X account, the charity wrote: “Thank you to everyone who visited & supported Homelessness: Reframed at @Saatchi_gallery.

“Over 47,000 visitors came to see the exhibition that aimed to improve understanding & inspire optimism that homelessness can be ended, this is just the start of our work.”

Homewards was set up with the aim of eradicating homelessness in the UK.

“Her doctors were worried that at any time she could enter a sharp decline,” Johnson wrote in Unleashed.

“She seemed pale and more stooped, and she had dark bruising on her hands and wrists, probably from drips or injections.”

The former prime minister added: “As Edward Young explained to me later, she had known all summer that she was going, but was determined to hang on and do her last duty: to oversee the peaceful and orderly transition from one government to the next.”

The Independent has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.

The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, 36, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will be welcoming their new arrival next spring.

They already share a daughter, Sienna, three, and Mr Mapelli Mozzi has a son from a previous relationship, Wolfie, eight.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a sibling for Wolfie, aged eight, and Sienna, aged three.

“His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”

The child will be 11th in line to the throne.

Speaking to ITV’s Tabloids on Trial, he said that he will not risk bringing her to the UK as he fears a “knife or acid attack” inspired by negative tabloid stories.

Meghan, 43, last stepped out in public in the UK for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
