Prince Harry’s solo trips are a “deliberate” ploy to “remind us who he was before Megxit”, according to royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths.
She joined Patrick Christys on GB News to discuss Harry’s decision to travel to Africa alone on the back of a series of visits without his wife, Meghan Markle, at his side.
According to Griffiths, Harry is “going through a stage where he is “revisiting the old Harry”.
She told GB News: “He hasn’t actually been to Lesotho for years. And there he is, back again.

“It would have been the classic thing for Meghan to be meeting with the children.
“It’s amazing she wasn’t there. But I think it’s very deliberate. I think Harry is trying to remind us all that he started this incredible children’s charity in Africa for children who were born with aids.

“He wants to remind us that was who he was before Megxit, before the drama. I think leaving Meghan out of it is possibly something they have decided together, because they don’t want the king of hysteria that happens when they’re together.
“Harry really wants to remind people, ‘this was me before, I was a good guy and I was really food with children’.”
The prince was afforded a warm reception by South African royalty as he touched down in Lesotho earlier this week.
He travelled to Southern Africa to perform duties with his Sentebale charity, which he co-founded in 2006.

The Office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took to their Sussex.com website to update its readers on the trip.
They issued a statement which read: "Today marked a significant moment as Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex – or Mohale, as he’s affectionately known by the Basotho people – commenced his trip to Lesotho, warmly welcomed by The King and Queen in a private meeting.
"This occasion not only rekindled cherished connections from his childhood but also celebrated a remarkable milestone: the 200th anniversary of the nation.
"The Duke holds a special place in his heart for this nation, particularly through his work with Sentebale, the organisation he co-founded alongside Prince Seeiso in 2006 to support vulnerable children in Southern Africa.
"His commitment to the region is deeply rooted in a shared vision for sustainable development and empowerment."
