Speaking at the opening ceremony, Prince Harry said he shared the same feelings of loss as the children he met in Lesotho.

The youngest son of Charles and Diana also paid a attractive tribute to his late mother, by naming a dining hall after her.
Harry is an accomplished polo player like his father, the Prince of Wales, and grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh, and regularly plays in competitive and charity matches.
“I hope you remember when we were together when planting peach trees and I know you feel happy when I am still writing the letters to you”. “He said to me, I’ve grown up”.
The shy teenager, who speaks the Sesotho language and whose words were translated, added: “I’m very comfortable around Harry and Harry’s comfortable around me – we click”.
The prince, now on a weeklong tour of South Africa and Lesotho, also enjoyed a warm reunion with 15-year-old Mutsu Postane, an orphaned boy he met 11 years ago on a visit to the landlocked country.
“During the dedication of the children’s center, Harry said that he and the boy share a special relationship that comes from tragic losses”. They were taking pictures with the kids, they really enjoyed the session and had fun with us.
“They are both second boys and very similar personalities, very cheerful, loving, bubbly and casual”, she said.
The center will help to counteract what Harry described experiencing on his first visit to Lesotho, when he met children who “had been robbed of their childhoods by extreme poverty and the ravages of HIV and AIDS”.
Prince Harry took a tumble while playing polo this afternoon after falling off his horse (twice) during a charity match.
While supporting a charity in Africa, this is the first time the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup will take place on African soil and will be held on November 28.
