Prince Harry reunites with friend in Lesotho

Prince Harry had a very emotional reunion with his lifelong friend in his recent trip to Africa.

Harry gave Mutsu a pair of royal blue wellies at the time, which the toddler cherished and wore to bed.

The tiny landlocked Kingdom in the centre of South Africa has the second-highest HIV infection rate in the world with 23% of the population carrying the virus and as a result one in three children are orphans.

Unlike most of the children who shyly watched the prince from the shadows, Mutsu, then aged four, grabbed his hand and stayed by his side for hours.

Mutsu, now a 15-year-old teenager, said: ‘I felt very happy, very excited.

Prince Harry still has a “gaping hole” in his life following the death of his mother, Princess Diana.

On Thursday, Nov. 26, the royal hottie opened the Mamohato Children’s Center in Lesotho, where he spoke about the loss of his mother, Princess Diana, who died in a auto accident in 1997. The Sentebale charity accommodates 96 children and teens, many of whom are the victims of extreme poverty and Lesotho’s HIV/AIDS epidemic. Malcolm Borwick and Prince Harry share a laugh during the Cup’s trophy presentation.

During his visit, Prince Harry also caught up with Mutsu, the boy he first met during his trip in 2004, and with whom he has maintained a special relationship since.

Mutsu frequently writes to Harry and yesterday Sentebale released his latest letter, written to Prince Harry shortly before his visit to Lesotho in December 2014.

As far as Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriends go, Chelsy Davy is reportedly the best candidate to become his future wife, according to previous reports.

The new facility will allow Sentebale – the charity founded by Harry and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso – to scale up their work with children struggling to cope with being HIV positive.

On the first day of his royal tour of Africa, Prince Harry has given a powerful and touching speech about his own experiences of loss and grief. The tour “will focus on a number of key themes, including understanding South Africa’s recent history, the issues and opportunities for young people in South Africa today and the importance of wildlife conservation”, Kensington Palace said.
