Prince Harry Steps Out Solo for Malawi Reception as Meghan Markle and Archie Head to Johannesburg

Stephanie Petit

Prince Harry is getting a royal welcome to Malawi.

After a day that included a visit to the Nalikule College of Education and a meeting with Malawi’s President Peter Mutharika, the 35-year-old royal dad capped off his day in the African country with a reception hosted by the British High Commissioner on Sunday.

The reception highlighted the common links between the U.K. and Malawi and strengthened their meaningful and modern partnership.

Harry will also spend Monday and Tuesday in Malawi before reuniting with wife Meghan Markle and son Archie in South Africa to conclude their 10-day tour in Johannesburg, the country’s largest city.

During the summer Prince Harry helped African Parks with one of the largest elephant translocations in conservation history. HRH has written personal quotes to accompany photographs of the project. "A few of us trying to 'tip an elephant'. This young male was fighting the sedative drug and was headed towards the trees, which would have made it very difficult for us to get him on the truck. All directions were taken from Kester Vickery from Conservation Solutions and Andre Uys, the vet." (Photo 1/5) 📷 @africanparksnetwork

Harry spent three weeks in Malawai in 2016 working with the 500 Elephants conservation initiative.

He helped to anesthetize the elephants, fix radio collars and monitor their breathing to ensure each one was safely relocated in a role that Peter Fearnhead, CEO of African Parks, described as “vital.”
