The Duke of Sussex gave an impassioned speech backing teenage activist Greta Thunberg today as he declared the world was in a state of 'emergency' and 'losing' the battle against climate change.
Harry arrived by the banks of Botswana's Chobe River in the north of the country this morning to take part in a tree-planting project - straining with dozens of people to get a huge sapling into the ground.
The Duke stressed saving the environment was a race against time, adding: 'Led by Greta, the world's children are striking.'
He said he could not understand why anyone - 'you, us, children, leaders' could ignore the facts from the last four decades.
Harry also spoke about how Bostwana offered him a place to escape to following the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
He said: '15 years I've been coming here, it's a sense of escapism, a real sense of purpose ... I have some of my closest friends here over the years.
'I came here in 1997 or 1998 straight after my mum died, so it was a nice place to get away from it all. I feel deeply connected to this place and to Africa.'
...
The land was privately owned but has been pledged to the local community and Dr Chase's organisation will manage it with the aim of creating a thriving riverbank forest.
Harry clearly enjoyed the challenge of helping to create a new forest habitat on the banks of Botswana's Chobe River.
After decades of deforestation from locals gathering firewood and elephant activity, a conservation organisation working with locals is trying to create a nature and cultural park for the community.
The duke got stuck in trying to plant the 10-metre tall tree and worked with a group of men to push it upright before packing it with soil....
And how many trees need to be planted to offset his trip? At least he flew commercial
Harry... Learn from your uncle. Leave the children alone.
I saw a Dr describe the condition Archie has with his eye. Can’t remember the name but he said it usually goes away around 2 or 3 but he needs to see a Dr. Oh, I am sure he has already. The best the taxpayer’s money can buy
Is that why you live in great big mansions and ride around in limos and yachts and private jets Prince Hypocrite?
Looks like Prince Harry is as stupid as his father.
It must be the inbreeding of the royal class, plus the fact that they had everything given to them and never had to work.
But have no fear. The incoming hordes of bearded ones will be eliminating the monarchy soon enough anyway.
Pardon me for rolling my eyes.

Let me help the duke out here. It’s because every Global Warming prediction from the last four decades has turned out wrong, and in many cases spectacularly wrong.
The adverse effects of too much inbreeding are displayed regularly by the royal family.
And his Uncle is a confirmed pedophile.
What's the First Law of Thermodynamics?
Shut up until you know the answer without looking it up.
He was moaning on about how bad it is sometimes it is hard for him to get out of bed
I think his mother’s death really messed him up...along with the rumors Charles is not his dad and his Grandpa killed his mom.
His rumored father’s only pic in his bedroom is that of Harry..with no explanation as to why.
He really is a fool, then.
Harry should not be making any financial decisions of great importance. He’s too easy of a mark as a Sucker.
Don't know if you've heard of a guy named Eddie Izzard. He's a British comedian who,at one time at least,was really funny.Years ago he did a concert during which he talked about the royal family...poked fun at them. At one point he said something like "they're proof that it's a bad idea for cousins to marry. The IQ goes right down the toilet".
How true.
Life is a race against time. Fighting climate change is a race against common sense.
Well, it seems infatuation with young women runs in the Royal Family.
I have to say that I think Elizabeth has been a much better monarch than other guy would have been that gave up the thrown.
<< He said he could not understand why anyone - ‘you, us, children, leaders’ could ignore the facts from the last four decades. >>
Here’s a fact for Dingy Harry — every last climate catastrophe prediction made by so-called experts over the time span in question has turned out to be ...fake news. Only complete idiots are buying what the statists are selling now.
