Prince Harry has arrived in South Africa for another solo trip without Meghan Markle after a flying visit to the UK for the WellChild Awards.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, is continuing his charity work with Sentebale, which supports young people affected by HIV.

Last night, he met with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho at a bonfire to celebrate the charity’s progress and to call on “people at the top” to take action so that more good can be done.

“We’re hitting the targets, not just Sentebale but all of the departments are, and it’s making a massive difference,” he said. The biggest difference of which really needs more work, is when people from the top start listening.”

This came after Prince William stepped out in London with David Beckham yesterday afternoon following Harry’s triumphant appearance at the WellChild Awards on Monday night.

Harry made headlines with his affinity for the children present and burst into laughter when a cheeky youngster grabbed his beard.

William, 42, met David Beckham as he viewed the new London Air Ambulance helicopters and their crew following a successful fundraising appeal.

King Charles is the ‘loveliest man in the world’, says Camilla’s son

Queen Camilla’s son, the food critic Tom Parker-Bowles, has revealed his thoughts on spending time with his mother and King Charles in a column with the Telegraph.

Recounting his day as part of their weekly My Saturday, which sees celebrities recount their favourite weekend rituals, Mr Parker-Bowles said he was more likely to see the royal couple during the week, and often visits for a cup of tea.

“I know some people might visit their family for a bite to eat on a Saturday, but I don’t tend to nip down for lunch at Buckingham Palace and Clarence House as my mother is usually in the country at weekends now,” he said.

“Charles, who genuinely is the loveliest man in the world, and I’m not just being oily, knows so much about food and loves his food, as does my mother,” he added.

Prince Harry screams and swears his way through surprise Jimmy Fallon appearance

Prince Harry unexpectedly showed up on Jimmy Fallon’s US talk show – and his appearance left him screaming and swearing.

Harry was invited to walk through a “haunted” maze with the host, and the result was broadcast on Thursday night’s episode of The Tonight Show (26 September).

Based on Fallon’s nightmares, the maze is a New York-based attraction set to feature several rooms filled with actors jumping out at attendees.
