Harry’s advisers, including Sir David Manning, a former ambassador to the US, have recently been exploring the idea of the African scheme.
The prince, whose first child is expected in the next few days, has spent a lot of time in Lesotho, South Africa.
He set up the Sentebale charity there in 2006, which supports the mental heath and wellbeing of children and young people affected by HIV.
And the prince, the sixth in the line of succession to the throne, has referred to Botswana as his "second home".
