Prince Charles’s younger son became involved in the campaign to help African children whose lives were devastated by Aids. He is keen to follow in the footsteps of his mother’s charity work.
The prince set up Sentebale in 2006 to provide children in Lesotho with healthcare, hot meals and education.
The charity started out small, with just £250,000 in funds for 2007. It has survived early controversy, having been criticised for high start-up costs and spending too much on administration, with not enough on direct help for the poor.
Prince Harry has described its progress as a “roller-coaster” since it began. The latest figures show it brings in more than £2 million per year.
Chief executive Cathy Ferrier reveals that the charity will expand into five countries and hopes to increase its income to £8 million.
