Prince Harry is back in the UK! See what he did as soon as he got back

September 9, 2016

Prince Harry has been hard at work since his return from Africa, where he spent the second summer in a row working for charity. Upon arriving back in the UK, the Prince immediately attended a board meeting for the Games after returning from his six-week trip, before attending the Regimental Sergeant Majors' convention dinner at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for his second official engagement.

The 31-year-old has been working hard on the '500 elephants' project in Malawi, where he used his skills as a helicopter pilot to aid the campaign which is helping relocate endangered elephants to a wildlife reserve to protect them from poachers. The fifth-in-line to the throne then left Malawi and was received by the President of Botswana, Ian Khama, at his palace in Gaborone, before returning to the UK.

Prince Harry has spent the past six weeks in Africa

Speaking about Prince Harry's work, Kensington Palace released a statement which read: "The elephants are being moved to reduce pressure on the habitat and alleviate human wildlife conflict while helping to repopulate the local herd in their new home.

"In the future, the reserve may also help restore elephant populations in other parts of Africa, where numbers have significantly declined due to poaching. This summer's work will further enhance his personal first-hand experience of initiatives that support some of Africa's most pressing conservation challenges."
