As the visit by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to southern Africa enters its final phases, the focus remains on Malawi where Prince Harry has another full day of engagements. There’s a real focus on the environment and conservation with both the past and the present in the spotlight. Here’s Royal Central’s round up of what to expect from day eight of the Sussexes in southern Africa.
Protecting Nature
The Duke of Sussex begins his day at Liwonde National Park. There he will hear about anti poaching projects and see a demonstration of the ongoing work in the area. The operations are carried out by local rangers and UK military and during his time at Liwonde, Harry will also make a personal tribute to Guardsman Matthew Talbot of the Coldstream Guards who was killed on an anti poaching patrol in May this year.
The Queen’s Canopy
Harry will also dedicate two new areas to the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy. Liwonde National Park and Mangochi Forest will become part of the initiative which now covers forests across the world.
Caught on Camera
During the day, the Duke of Sussex will be photographing some of the forest that he’s visiting. He’ll be sharing his images and thoughts on the official Instagram of National Geographic magazine which he is guest editing for the day.
