After making stops in London and New York, where he appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, the Duke of Sussex arrived in the southern African country of Lesotho on October 1 for what became his eighth solo appearance in as many days, according to The Telegraph.

The 40-year-old appeared on Princess Senate Seeiso of Lesotho’s Instagram page shortly after his arrival, as noted by the New York Post. “Had the pleasure of hosting the Duke of Sussex today for lunch,” the 23-year-old princess wrote beneath a shot of herself with the Brit, which has since been saved as an Instagram Story highlight dedicated to Harry, under the title “DOS”, referring to the Duke of Sussex.

She also shared a video of Harry speaking about his charity work while sat around a campfire. “Inspiring and passionate conversations around the bonfire with my uncle Prince Seeiso and The Duke aka Mohale,” she shared. According to The Standard, Mohale is the Sesotho word for “warrior”.

Harry’s decision to tour sans Markle and the children has been interpreted as a tactical move by UK media such as The Telegraph, which suggests it could be part of an effort to rehabilitate the Prince’s image and remind the public of the royal “they loved”. Or perhaps the Duchess of Sussex is just keeping busy taking care of the children until they’re all reunited.
