Prince Harry is particularly interested in supporting disadvantaged young people and sick children.

His Royal Highness is the co-founder of the charity Sentebale which cares for orphaned and vulnerable young people in Lesotho. He is actively involved with Sentebale on many levels, from helping physically to construct projects on the ground in Lesotho through to attending Board meetings and meeting with Trustees one-to-one at St. James’s Palace.

Prince Harry also has a keen interest in development issues arising from today’s environmental challenges, illustrated in his patronage of MapAction.

The Prince and his brother The Duke of Cambridge invite all their charities and associations to a gathering two or three times a year, where they hope to assist in promoting exchanges of ideas and joint initiatives to the benefit of all the members of what has become known as The Princes’ Charities Forum.

Every event that Prince Harry carries out takes a different shape, but The Prince always likes to prioritise meeting the beneficiaries of the charity in as informal a setting as possible, making sure that people feel at ease and enjoy the special occasion. The Prince takes an active role in putting together his engagements diary, which is fitted around his flying training.

As an example, in the Summer of 2010, Prince Harry visited the Canine Partners National Training Centre in Midhurst, West Sussex. The Prince toured the facility, met supporters and clients of the charity and viewed a demonstration of the specially trained animals which help disabled veterans regain their independence. Later in the day, Prince Harry attended the Royal British Legion’s ‘Friends of the Forces’ awards in London where he paid tribute to the British public for the "fundamental" support they provide to troops serving overseas. He also presented an award to two youngsters who raised more than £400 for injured servicemen and women.

In his spare time, The Prince enjoys socialising with friends, taking parts in outdoor activities such as sports and traditional country pursuits, and activities such as motorbiking.

Prince Harry endeavours to combine his personal interests with casting a light on service, duty and excellence in the country, which is key part of his role as a member of the Royal Family.
