The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared never-before-seen photos of their 2017 trip to Botswana where they marked their first year together and Meghan's 36th birthday.
Three pictures and a video were posted on the couple’s new official Instagram account last night to illustrate their joint commitment to the protecting wildlife and the environment.
One of the images shows the pair attaching a satellite collar to a bull elephant, as they assisted Dr Mike Chase of Elephants Without Borders.
The photos were posted on the Instagram account, just after Prince Harry had just attended the premiere of David Attenborough documentary ‘Our Planet’. The “ambitious” eight-part Netflix series examines the impacts of climate change across the world.
“As president of @africanparksnetwork, The Duke of Sussex continues to advocate for the communities and wildlife that coexist in some of the most vulnerable environments around the world,” the Instagram caption reads.
“Be it human wildlife conflict or natural disasters, these communities (park rangers, school children, families) are on the frontline of conservation and we must do more to help them as we also work to safeguard the animals and landscapes that are in critical danger.”
The caption goes on to introduce the photos, saying they offer “a glimpse into the work he and The Duchess of Sussex did in 2017.”
Prince Harry and Meghan travelled to Botswana just a few weeks after they first met in 2016. He said the trip was “crucial” to the couple getting to know each other.
They returned to Botswana in 2017 to mark their first year together as a couple and Meghan's 36th birthday.
