Harry has previously shared his desire for he and Meghan to make a permanent move to Africa. "Look, the rest of our lives, especially our life's work, will be predominantly focused on Africa, on conservation," he said in an ITV documentary.
"There are a lot of things to be done. There's a lot of problems here, but there's also huge potential solutions."
In a moving speech to the United Nations last month, the Prince said: "Since I first visited Africa at 13 years old, I've always found hope on the continent. In fact, for most of my life, it has been my lifeline... It's where I've felt closest to my mother and sought solace after she died, and where I knew I had found a soulmate in my wife."
