Prince Harry spent ten years working in the Armed Forces and now spends his working life supporting a number of charitable activities and projects, and carrying out public duties in support of The Queen.

Having visited southern Africa many times over the past two decades, Prince Harry has taken a deep personal interest in frontline conservation projects that work to protect Africa's natural heritage and support both wildlife and local communities.
