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....
Cake or death?
I’m getting tired of inbred, horse-faced, spoiled royals telling the rest of the world what to do. If we hadn’t already shot the freaking British 240 years ago, I’d be about ready to have a go at it right now.
I like Twain’s take on royalty:
I urged that kings were dangerous.
He said, then have cats.
He was sure that a royal family of cats would answer every purpose.
They would be as useful as any other royal family, they would know as much, they would have the same virtues and the same treacheries, the same disposition to get up shindies with other royal cats, they would be laughable vain and absurd and never know it, they would be wholly inexpensive, finally, they would have as sound a divine right as any other royal house...The worship of royalty being founded in unreason, these graceful and harmless cats would easily become as sacred as any other royalties, and indeed more so, because it would presently be noticed that they hanged nobody, beheaded nobody, imprisoned nobody, inflicted no cruelties or injustices of any sort, and so must be worthy of a deeper love and reverence than the customary human king, and would certainly get it.

Meghan....marrying that gal shows a severe lack of judgement. I shall not put too much weight on his opinions.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
Prince Harry resembles another royal loser. Hank the 8th. The original founder of his Queen for a Day routine, until that new queen lost her head.
Why is he having kids knowing what horrors they will face?
But, but the 30,294,732th will be right.
More proof of the defective nature of residual inbred genes.
The mother of Mozzi’s child is a hottie but he’s kissing up to dumpy Beatrice. Uh huh, a gold digger.
Doubt Andrew is into spinning heads and pea soup.
She has no money, really.
That was the problem with Andrew and his connection to Epstein. Epstein gave him money.
Prince Charles holds the purse strings and cut down on Andrew and his children.
Maybe gold digger for the connections but not her money.
So Archie’s name is Bubba
Maybe the Queen will go along with donating £750,000,000 to some university in Europe that is studying climate change. :) It’s to save the planet, after all.
(PS: Laughing at Dingy Harry name.)
His given name is already something of a nickname. Why does he need another one?
