Prince Harry ‘wanted to bring his children up in Africa’ with new role

Prince Harry wanted to “bring his children up” in Africa, where he has spent many of the happiest times of his life, one of his friends has revealed. Celebrated primatologist Dame Jane Goodall, said: “He wanted to bring Archie up in Africa, running barefoot with African children.” In 2019, it was reported that courtiers had drawn up plans to hand the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a major international job that could have seen them moving abroad after the birth of their first child. Prince Harry’s advisers were understood to be creating a “bespoke” new role for the couple, likely in Africa, that would combine some work on behalf of the Commonwealth along with charity work and a role promoting Britain. The plan had been drawn up by Sir David Manning, the former British ambassador to the US and special adviser on constitutional and international affairs to Harry and Prince William.FOLLOW BELOW FOR LIVE UPDATES… Prince Harry ‘wanted to bring his children up in Africa’ with new role (Image: GETTY) 11 mins ago07:27 Tara FairRoyal author Omid Scobie, who co-wrote Finding Freedom, has said Spare could cause “irrevocable damage”.Writing in his column for Yahoo!
