Airdate: Prince Harry in Africa

Royal-themed specials continue with Prince Harry in Africa.

This one hour doco follows HRH Prince Harry on his return to Lesotho, in South Africa, to continue the work of Sentebale, the charity he set up in the country a decade ago.

Prince Harry first travelled to the little known kingdom of Lesotho 12 years ago, shadowed by broadcaster Tom Bradby. It was there, after seeing the country’s disadvantaged children, that the Prince decided to follow in the humanitarian footsteps of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, and set up Sentebale (which translates as ‘Forget Me Not’), which provides care, support and education to youth affected by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.

This documentary sees Prince Harry set off on an unforgettable adventure, where cameras bear witness to his travels through the beautiful and challenging scenery to remote locations with his deeply personal aim of discovering the stories that he wants to tell to the world.

The film will also capture the moment that Prince Harry is reunited with Mutsu, a local teenager who the Prince met on his first visit to Lesotho, and with whom he has since remained in regular contact, both knowing firsthand what is was like growing up without a parent.
