“For me, it’s three months of hard grafting, working with animals,” he explained to The Sun.

“To actually get the chance to embed myself with the top vet in southern Africa, travel with him for three weeks and every job he gets called up to do. That’s like my dream.”

While Prince George (pictured) was christened at St James’s Palace in London, Charlotte will be baptised at St Mary Magdalene Church on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate.

It is believed that Charlotte’s christening will coincide with Harry’s time in Africa.

The church is dear to William’s heart as it where his mother, Princess Diana, was christened.

Although he might have to skip the big day, we’re sure Uncle Harry will bring home some delightful gifts for his doting niece and nephew.
