Prince Harry says he’ll continue Philip’s ‘legacy’ in World Earth Day tribute
Prince Harry has vowed to continue Prince Philip’s legacy in a tribute to his late grandfather on World Earth Day.
The Duke of Sussex narrated a video about Africa named ‘Hope Starts Here’ for the annual environmental protection event on Thursday. He called the Duke of Edinburgh ‘a conservation champion’ in an accompanying statement that pledged his ‘dedication to our environment and collective well-being’.
The royal, who is currently expecting his second child with wife Meghan Markle, said: ‘As we now begin to move towards an era of global recovery and regeneration, it’s critical that we continue to look at the strengthening and protecting of biodiversity, not just as a value we hold – but as a responsibility that is vital to our way of life.
‘On this Earth Day, I reflect on the generations of conservation champions, including my late grandfather, and feel proud and energised to continue doing my part in this legacy. ‘This year especially, I join the incredible African Parks team and communities around the world in shared dedication to our environment and collective well-being.’
He spent three months working on projects in Namibia, Tanzania, South Africa and Botswana after leaving the Army in 2015.
The Duke camped out under the stars with the Duchess of Sussex on a safari trip in Botswana, weeks after meeting her in 2016.
Prince Philip was known for his support for wildlife conservation, serving as President of the World Wide Fund for Nature for 15 years. Harry’s tribute comes as he returns to LA following the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral on Saturday.

They don't need anything from Harry they couldn't get themselves so I'm thinking it might be him making an ask.
Lot of us thought it. We saw through M!
