Prince Harry is not the only royal working to make a difference for Lesotho's youth: the Duke of Sussex arrived in Lesotho, Africa, on Tuesday, October 1, to join members of the Lesotho royal family in Sentebale, a charity dedicated to empowering youth. The trip began with an introduction to their activities.

Princess Senate Ciso, 22, shared a photo of herself posing with the Duke on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, writing, “Had the pleasure of meeting the Duke of Sussex today for lunch.”

According to her Instagram account, the princess, who enjoyed lunch in style in a champagne-colored jumpsuit, graduated from the University of Ottawa in June 2024. She seems to share many of the same values that the Duke of Sussex advocates in his work at Centivert, with the princess writing in a recent graduation post, “It is up to us, the youth of today, to take the lead in the transformation and growth of society.”

Princess Senate also released a video of her around a bonfire with Prince Harry and her uncle Prince Seeso, who co-founded Sentebale with Prince Harry almost 20 years ago. She wrote: “A touching and passionate conversation 😄🥰wellcomeback Ntate 🇱🇸 around the bonfire with my uncle Prince Siso and Duke aka Mohale.”

The meaning of “Ntate” has a sweet connotation in Sesotho, meaning father or uncle, but it is also used to refer to male adults in a respectful way. Mohale,” on the other hand, is a familiar nickname given to Prince Harry by the Basotho people of Lesotho, and is mentioned by Prince Seiso in his Sentebale announcing the Duke's journey.

“My team and I, and our wider community, are delighted to welcome Prince Harry, or Mohale (meaning ‘warrior’) as we affectionately call him by his royal Sesotho name,” he said in a statement.

According to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's website, Prince Harry was “warmly welcomed by the King and Queen at a private meeting” upon his arrival in Lesotho.

He first visited Lesotho during his 2004 gap year, which marks the bicentennial of the country's founding this year, and in 2006 he and Prince Siso founded Sentebale to help vulnerable youth in southern Africa.

In a fireside chat shared by Princess Senate on Instagram, Prince Harry and Prince Siso spoke about Sentebale's commitment to children and youth. The duke said that “stigma is being broken down in this country,” and while he sees “a wave of energy and optimism” among children as young as “six years old,” he also touched on the changes that need to be made.

“The biggest difference,” he noted, “is that people at the top are starting to listen, although it takes more effort.

Prince Harry's journey will continue with a visit to South Africa, where he and Prince Siso will continue their engagement around Sentebale and how Southern African business leaders can support the region's youth.
