PITSENG, LESOTHO - DECEMBER 06: Prince Harry plays with a three year old blind girl called Karabo during a visit to Phelisanong Children's Home on December 6, 2014 in Pitseng, Lesotho. Prince Harry was visiting Lesotho to see the work of his charity Sentebale. Sentebale provides healthcare and education to vulnerable children in Lesotho, Southern Africa. The particular theme of his visit was to check on the progress of the Mamohato Childrens Centre which will provide vital support to children affected by HIV.

Prince Harry is headed back to Africa.

The prince, who spent his summer working with animals in Namibia, will be busy opening a new children's centre for his charity Sentebale in Lesotho.

Sentebale was founded by Harry and Lesotho's Prince Seeiso in 2006, in honour of their late mothers.

According to the foundation, both princes are expected to be in attendance at the 'Mamohato Children’s Centre on Thursday Nov. 26 with Lesotho's King Letsie III.

The children's centre, which is named after Prince Seeiso and King Letsie III's mother Queen ‘Mamohato Bereng Seeiso, will be used to host events and workshops for children living with HIV.

The princes will also expected to participate in the sixth Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup on Nov. 28 in Cape Town.

Harry has a deep-seated love affair with Africa — the prince dated South African lawyer Chelsey Davey for seven years, and it is also a place that reminds him of his mother. The late Princess of Wales spent a lot of time in Africa as a part of her
